A former American University chemist yesterday reported that he and a Virginia entrepreneur had created a safe, pollution-reducing and mileage-boosting replacement for harmful gasoline additives.

In a well-received paper presented at the annual American Chemical Society meeting that ended here yesterday, Paul Waters explained he had created a polymer additive for gasoline called polyisobutylene.

This should just be pulled. It's spam.

"The altered gasoline reportedly cannot harm engines and can be used universally - in lawn mowers and in big trucks' diesels, too."

Pajama Brigade alert...does this sound like an awfully "folksy" style for an article that was supposedly written by a WP staffer? I imagine this could be one of those paid ads with the tiny type that says advertisement at the edge.

It's a pretty good deal but just a pain in the a$$ having to stop and drain all that extra gas from my gas tank every few miles.

I think you're about 10% short...

Bush has kept this secret? What?

[Darksheare]

Hey Bobby:

WHY would a gasoline additive that would MAKE MONEY for the US be kept secret?

[L98Fiero]

Yep, just like all those 100 mpg carburetors that the automotive industry kept from us. That was the rumor going around in the '70s anyway.

New decade, new rumors.

And, oh yeah, Heeeeere, Kitty, kitty!!

[OKSooner]

Shhh. Don't talk about it - "The Military" is using it in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[JustRight]

Oooooh! Double posted for double the Zots.

"Gasoline additive Bush keeps secret - 20% more MPG - 70% less emissions"

What's with the title - where in the article does it state anything about Bush....
I'm confused.

[RtWngr]

I have an invention that will turn a cup of urine into 5 gallons of 100 octane fuel, but Halliburton has been supressing it for decades.

/s off

[L98Fiero]

Hmm, that sounds a lot like, well, water. ;)

Who was the Pres. then nimrod? Man, you suck at propaganda.

Your source is the Wash Times? Umm Hmm. Got a link for that? I can find the Washington Times, but where's the article?

Or maybe you made it up? *gasp* Is that POSSIBLE?

[alancarp]

Yup. Say "buh, bye" to Bobby.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

How is Bush keeping it a secret?

Exactly what I'd like to know. The word 'Bush' appears in the title and then again in your post. Whassupwidatt?

[TBall]

I think it has been secretly added recently. I've been getting great mileage lately.

[OKSooner]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!

Now cool it. I shouldn'ta brought it up to begin with...
