Convert them to run on ethanol. By then we should have figured out cellulosic ethanol production, which eliminates the issues and inefficiencies of using corn to produce it.


http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28133+cc%2Fminute+*+.76+g%2F+cm%5E3+*+14.7%2F9%29+%2F++%28.79+g%2Fcm%5E3%29


All that would be required is to use ethanol proof fuel hose, pump damper, and a 209 cc/minute injectors/pressure reg setup, rather than our 133 cc/minute @ 35 psi ones. Put a normal 43.5 psi regulator in, and some standard 20 pound an hour injectors, and you're golden.  While you're at it, you could bump the compression ratio and timing a bit. Would give more power, beyond the increase already there from the ethanol.

I guess that will be as good a reason as any to give up riding the motobrick when I'm 145.
