"f you want increase it 5 times you're now in TNT territory (4.6 MJ/kg)."

That's huge.

Except..

Liquid hydrocarbons run roughly about 62MJ/Kg.

Or about 13x greater.

And yet the operators of gasoline powered vehicles have managed to carry around tanks of these chemicals (sometimes very big tanks of them) for centuries.
