    Transonic Combustion, based in Camarillo, CA, has developed a gasoline fuel injection system that can improve the efficiency of gasoline engines by 50 to 75 percent, beating the fuel economy of hybrid vehicles. A test vehicle the size and weight of a Toyota Prius (but without hybrid propulsion) showed 64 miles per gallon for highway driving. The company says the system can work with existing engines, and costs about as much as existing high-end fuel injection.
  • How to get an old car running on ethanol?

    My mechanic just told me the older cars (1980s) will not run properly on ethanol which has been mandated by the federal government. He said it will cause some problems with the fuel injection (my project car is a 1989 Nissan Sentra). Does anyone know of an additive to put in the gas to counteract the effects of ethanol or to remove the ethanol from the gas? Thanks for any help.
