Dear Alan:

Thanks for the first hand observations...

If you had had wood pellets you could have gone 150 miles between fillups.

Just a minor point that in Australia during the WW11 the popular name for
the solid fuel (charcoal I think) auto truck and tractor gasifiers was "gas
producers". They were on every car on the runing board or mounted on the
rear luggage rack. They took 1/2 hour to get going and took a car 50 miles
before refuelling was necessary. This was always a good time to boil up a
"billy" of water for a hot cuppa tea and a smoke before continuing on the
way (not easy to find your way as all the road signs were removed to hinder
the Japanese invaders).
