[Repeal The 17th]

“...a secret weapon on our side: The Truth...”
Which is immediately followed by an untruth:
“...Gasoline burns at a Maximum of less than 900°F...”

Gasoline flames can actually reach 1,800 degrees under ideal conditions.

The measurement of the temperature of gasoline (@ combustion) wouldn't even use the same method as would the measurement of temperatures of the controlled internal flash fire that an ICE's ignition stroke creates. When the spark plug fires, it ignites a compressed and volatile air-fuel mixture or vapor within the cylinders' sealed combustion chamber(s). This phenomenon serves to reverse the direction of the piston's stroke, which drives the journals of the crankshaft around via the piston-crank connecting rod, and in turn the camshaft lobes, which serve to operate the spring-loaded valve train. In the typical gasoline-powered ICE, a 4-stroke cycle of 1- Intake, 2- Compression, 3- Ignition (sometimes referred to as the "Power" stroke) and 4- Exhaust, is the order of progression as the engine operates as designed. An engineer might be able to develop a computerized engine test that measures the temperatures of both fuel and fire in the same run but the results would be referred to in separate comparable metrics that are not necessarily "coincidental".
