Motorcycle.com stirs the pot to see what boils over in this long article babbling about potential issues with finding gasoline to fuel your vintage motorcycle in 2044:  https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/features/de-gassed-how-will-you-fuel-your-classic-motorcycle-in-2044-44601100

in 2044 i'll  be (counts on fingers) 90 and likely driving a casket or an urn. it's not just motorcycles, it's all those cars and trucks and boats and airplanes... but i notice i can still get 2 stroke oil. i expect gasoline will become rarer, and that's probably a good thing. the majority (95%?) of vehicles on the road today will be in scrapyards in 20 years and fuel will be scarce but 95% of us will be riding some sort of electric thingie 95% of the time.

Remember 130 years ago, when you would head down to your local purveyor of coal oil, and buy fuel for the naptha engine that you had purchased in order to avoid the need to hire the trained engineer required to tend every steam plant?   https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/gas-engines/engines-a-z/the-naphtha-engine/    Naptha would have cost you a dime a gallon then.  It's more expensive now.

Gasoline will be available in 2044, just like Naptha is now.  It already is:

There's always the DIY option of alcohol. Works in Brazil. Dragsters seem to be able to scamper along quite smartly on it. As far as additives, early days Michigan entrepreneurs were making nitroglycerine for the oil industry in their bathtubs in winter in the 1890's. Humans are adaptable.
