He said at the time that the problem with gasoline is that it is a mixture of many chemicals all with different vaporization rates. The separation that occured during just heating caused problems. I don't remember the specifics. What he came up with was a system to homogenize this heated mixture using a turbocharger turbine and an exhaust heated manifold box. He claimed super HP gains and 200 mpg or something like that. I'm going to google it and see if I can find it. I remember Hot Rod testing the car and confirming Smokey's claims. They predicted aftermarket kits for cars and then I never heard anything about it again.......................It a conspiracy I tell you  |
OK, it wasn't 200 mpg, I was something like 12 whenI read it. Here's the car.
