I was disappointed to get such answers, I really thought people here had done more.

The thing is even car makers admit that only 20% of the fuel put into your engine make HP, the rest is wasted, some burn after the power stock some burn on its way out of the engine and what is left is burned by the cat.

Problem is ONLY the gas VAPOR that is made during the compression and power stock is able to make power.

NOW IF you can convert the gas to vapor and only use what is needed for power ( the 20%) what will you get??

A 80% in savings. so 80% X say 30MPG = 150MPG?

Cool, my 305+ hp car gets 38-42 normal driving, 43-46 on the highway. No vapor or hydrogen or anything.

The 35 MPG Camaros were sold to Australia, when the car owners here in the states talked with them they found out about the Easter egg.

I don't know if they are still in OBII ECUs only the Camaro's ECUs of the 80s.

We get cheap gas and bad MPG overseas they pay more and get better MPG.

Why does it matter about being OBDii? Can't the ECU be flashed regardless? The CTS V on here has a reflashed ECU. The mileage is okay for pure highway, it doesn't seem like its had much of an affect on the city performance- but it's been done.
