I sort of confused the matter by skipping a step.
The statement in question was:
"But
the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline, it always has....Without gasoline, we can't get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour."
This only applied to the first version of the time machine.
In the BTTF universe the ICE engine probably disappeared some time around 2010. If the tech to make the Mr Fusion fuel source was a consumer level commodity by 2015 it means that at least enough time had gone by for it to become the norm. With that fuel source the ICE engine would not be needed at all even for normal "driving".
In fact by then not only does it not need gasoline for the ICE...
The locomotive takes it even further in that it doesn't even have an ICE since steam power is external combustion.
On a side note there is not a hope in hell of getting an ICE DeLorean up to 88mph in the distances shown anyway. It would be impossible with a 10+ 0 to 60. Need to be a bloody big parking lot.
