The general use of fuel blending beginning with "Motor Fuels" by Leslie (1929) has been to increase power output by increasing compression ratio. Racing engines and piston aircraft are the most notable applications. One can do amazing things under the lawful conditions. To get a 20% increase in fuel efficiency typically one either has corrected a gross defect or doubled the compression ratio. .

you realize you cant sound this sane, rational and logical and post on this topic..

I think Stovie is one of those people who get their jollies by taking the devils advocate position just to watch other people freak out. I've met guys in my life that tell all sortsa stories that they know are not true, but you can't prove them wrong, because you have no way of doing so. I really have no use for that type of person. I can't imagine what sorta shallow minded hell they must live with in their own skulls thinking they are better than all that because they made you believe a lie, and now think you're stupid for trusting them so much.

Pretty convincing, Chaz, but I know you just made that up.
