Air + tears = combustible fluid on your face.
But if we run out of crude oil and get our petrol from the device in the article and added a capture device to all engines we would have a COC in on our hands. A Clean Oil Crisis, we would run out of carbon in the atmosphere and then run out of petrol. Again.

I don't actually consider that a positive... With one modification I'd be over the fucking moon, and that would be to incorporate carbon capture devices into the engines like are being retrofitted some coal fired power stations, over time, the very engines that polluted our atmosphere could play a part in cleaning it again.
ETA... Of course I'm just ignoring for convenience the high level CO2 we couldn't hope to reach with a car engine.
