hi try [product name deleted for obvious reasons] I was so impressed with this product I became a distributor. Yes and a Prince from Nigeria will give me millions just for helping him get money out of his country. And that I can make $5,000 a month part time from my home. And that by forwarding a simple e-mail Bill gates will send me money. And that Elvis is alive. And that Pluto is still a planet.

Replying to: rorr (Sep 11, 2006 11:16 am) Its very simple, just attach one end to the front of your car. At any given stoplight attach the other end to the back of the car in front of you. Put your car in neutral and bingo instant gas savings. What is this wonderful invention? well wait no more Here it is

Just goes to show that there's nothing new under the sun. Of course, those horses might come with methane

Replying to: snakeweasel (Sep 11, 2006 11:45 am) But the solution pictured above just MIGHT actually be more efficient than ethanol.....

Replying to: snakeweasel (Sep 11, 2006 12:54 pm) Of course, even with 'only' two hp, I'm sure the torque figures are nothing to sneeze at. Problem is, the engine probably doesn't breathe too good at high rpm. And I don't think a 4" exhaust tip would help things one iota....

link title Honda has at least figured out the production problem. Converting corn and sugarcane into ethanol yielded little fuel given the amount of raw material used, and it also saps food stocks. The new method uses inedible and discarded plant material and is vastly more efficient. Honda is planning to produce an ethanol-capable vehicle for the Brazilian market, but major U.S. automakers like Ford and General Motors already have hundreds of thousands of flex-fuel vehicles on the road now that can run on either ethanol or gasoline.
