Come to think of it, the same is true for gasoline. No other use for it than to run combustion engines. Turns out we are all doing those oil companies a pretty big favor, unless we used their product, they would have to pump all of those distillates back into the ground.

This is, interestingly enough, the reason that Bertha Benz refueled her car in the world's first long-distance automobile journey, in a pharmacy - it was sold as "Waschbenzin" at the time, which translates to "washing gasoline".
