Oil industry suppressed plans for 200-mpg car

The documents also described how the machine worked by turning petrol into a vapour before it entered the cylinder chamber, reducing the amount of fuel needed for combustion.

So it works exactly like every other carburetor. Whoop-de-do.

It isn't true.

It boils down to the laws of physics and energy. There is only so much energy in a gallon of gasoline. It takes a certain ammount of energy to propel a 3000lb object down the road at 60mph for 100 miles.

You cannot get something for nothing in the world of thermodynamics. 😉

You can't! Aw man! Now what am I going to do with this perpetual motion machine? It just keeps going faster and faster...

IN THIS HOUSE WE FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS!

anyways, if this was true, i'd do the same if i was in the oil industry 😉

Would that be the steam car? lol

But current gasoline engines are only like 25% efficient.

Yeah.

Whats your point? 😛 If they were 101% efficient, you would have something to worry about. 😛

Well I'm saying there is room for improvement.
