The new Baron's come with special dilithium crystal fuel
conversion units that use the Earth's static electrical
fields as a power source to synthesize gasoline in the fuel
tanks by converting the coffee as the second step in the
process.

The pilot and passengers all drink a lot of coffee in order
to extend the range. One cup of coffee makes 24 gallons of
gasoline.
