WHY DON'T WE HAVE AUTO GAS AT GAS STATIONS HERE LIKE THEY DO IN AUSTRALIA???

[Pete Masterson]

Such engines can be designed. Many power stations run "gas turbines" for generating electricity. These are essentially the same as jet engines used on aircraft. The only engineering challenge is to carry enough natural gas on board an aircraft to have a decent range --- and, still have room for passengers. The downside is that natural gas, unless highly compressed, is very bulky for the amount of energy carried in the volume required for storage.
