I wonder how expensive it would be, on a large scale, to simulate the atomic structure of pure gasoline?

Hmmm. I think if we get to the point where we can build large structures using nanotech we could probably figure out a way to do without so much gasoline.

But it would be cool to just skip the whole exploring, drilling, pumping, shipping and refining process and just put it straight into my gas tank.

In the bulk, $$$$. Ask ExxonMobil, they have molecular dynamics folks on staff, and the money. :-)

Imagine if we could grow our own fuel.
