THE FACT IS THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO TO A MOTOR TO RAISE MPG. AND BE LEGAL. THEY BURN FEUL AT A %99+ to make heat. its the waste heat that needs to be used. in reality we can't do anything about it. the makers used tuber chargers and but they cost more. FOR US THE FEDS CALL IT TAMPERING. AND WITH THE OPEC 2 COMPUTER ITS VERY HARD. THATS WHAT THE FEDS WANTED. I ALWAYS MESSED WITH MINE BUT NOT NOW. IT SETS OFF THE CHECK LIGHT. THERE IS ONE THING THAT MAY WORK. I KNOW IT WORKED BACK IN CARB. DAYS. BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND THE SPACE NEEDED IN NEW CARS. AND ITS NOT THAT MUCH.
