CNG (compressed natural gas) or liquid fuels made from natural gas

Aah, natural gas. 
It reminds me that, during WW2 in Europe (and particularly in France and
Belgium), one modified one's car by adding a "gazogène" which created gases
by incompletely burning wood or coal.

See pictures and formulas:

It modified somewhat the original aerodynamic and aesthetic qualities of the
car, but it was cheap, and worked.
