Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
A Kubota diesel in a metro with a manual transmission is only good for about 100mpg.
The only way I have seen a car get 200mpg is in neutral idling, being flat towed, got about 230mpg.

I think cites without hyperlinks are pointless.

The cite: Eagle-research.com is in the post. I don't know how to do hyperlinks or any of that stuff.
It's an interesting book with lots of data a history in it.

So the author has apparently moved on from fuel savers to miracle cure devices:

The website had a particular odor to it. I'll save my money for the Chrysler Turbo Encabulator
