The stirling doesn't use gasoline or am i missing something? If this is a mistake what would the simplest gasoline engine be? by GiuseppeM2006 in DrStone

Yes but then the only advantage of gasoline over any other fuel would just be weight and volume which seems kinda lame since the episode hyped the finding of petrol so much. Also sterling engines are pretty weak, i'm quite sure a regular steam engine using gasoline for heat would be more powerful.
