... Gasoline is "an unstable mixture" too ~ just light a match anywhere
near it and you will soon find out. ;-)
But in this case [where we wish to use it for energy production],
"unstable" is a /good/ thing.
P.S. I assume that your last question about using "coal gas in an
internal combustion engine" was rhetorical...
