Thumbs down

Yeah, I've heard of it. Personally, it sounds & feels of a complete scam! The whole video doesn't sit right with me. First of all, this serious claim of 200 mpg is huge. The thermal efficiency of the cycle would really challenge that claim from what I remember from my engineering classes. Then I didn't see anything of real substance, there was only a solid model of what looked like a muffler-type catalytic converter with 3 ports running into it that were supposed to be inputs for fuel to be vaporized and "plasma" to be injected into the motor. I know the ideal fuel state for injection into a cylinder is vapor, but the problem is delivering a vapor and metering it properly is difficult at operating conditions of most vehicles. Well this thing claims plasma delivery. How do inject plasma (electrically reactive) through a standard fuel injector, which is essentially an electromagnetic valve. Sorry for my rant, just my opinion...save your money.

If it was that good George W. would be all over it, even if all of his Haliburton(sp) buddies are laughing.

This whole Co2, greenhouse emissions, has me going crazy. The price of a barrel of oil is so overpriced it ain't funny. If the damn speculators would stop driving the price up(just like the .com's 8 years ago the world would be a better place,)

My take is that the rich people are mad that the middle class is doing so well that they need to knock them down a couple of rungs on the ladder of life.


Save your money and buy a diesel Jetta/Streetbike when your not driving your truck

A car in poor running condition will use more gas than one that has been tuned up. According to this checklist at Advance Auto Parts, a dirty air filter can reduce gas mileage up to 20%. They also note that spark plugs in poor condition can reduce gas mileage up to 12%.
