They claim an increase of 500% in mileage on a bench-top V-8. They say they are still working on it, we'll see. Here's the video: http://upto100mpg.com/video.htm

The first bit makes sense, since it uses heat the engine might otherwise waste and stashes it in the fuel. That's good.

That 500% mileage claim, however, is pure rubbish. Using existing technology and adding a heater to the fuel delivers five times more fuel mileage? Not gonna happen. You'd do better to spend your money on a Tornado.
