So my change would be that in the very beginning of the era of wider use of oil, say, the late 1800s, that something was discovered in oil's nature that made it totally unusable. And that there was no technology that could even come remotely close to making it safely usable.

That's the major part of my working life down the pan. Keep your changes to yourself, thank you very much!

I seem to remember that Mr Diesel's original compression engine was designed to run on peanut oil. Mined oil came later. If mineral oil hadn't come along vegetable oils would have done the job but farmers would have been better off.

There has plenty to fight about from the battle of Jericho up to the American Civil War before oil came into the equation.
