Invention News - Saving Gas

By , About.com Guide   September 1, 2009

gas engines

According to a recent Reuters news article that despite textbook claims, federal mandates, and global warnings,  gas guzzling car engines are still just that. In fact, the average gasoline engine only burns about 68% percent of the gasoline put into it and the rest is waste. Reuters states that  "vehicles have shown less than a 5% increase in miles per gallon in the past 60 years, despite sophisticated technology." The big question should be why? One possible ray of light is a relatively unknown device called the Gas Saver by National Fuelsaver. According to Reuters it is  "a modest device about the size of a video tape that increases the  fuel burn percentage inside the engine from 68 to 90 percent, a significant increase of 22 percent, or 22 percent more miles per gallon, with the original amount of fuel. Hope the claims prove true.
