This efficiency figure:
"Most people don't know that the average car engine is only 17% to 23% efficient, because of energy conversion inside the engine,
and because 20% of the gas you buy usually goes right out your tail-pipe as carbon waste."

And this:
"Think about it... 15% to 20% of the gas you buy comes out your tail-pipe as waste... that's like pouring one fifth of the gas you buy all over the ground when you pump up your car. This is why we have such large smog and pollution problems today, especially in countries where leaded fuel is still used."

Are not the same "waste." You burn 99%+ of the fuel that goes into your engine. Dumping some magic in the tank won't make fuel appear.

And if it would improve atomization dramatically as he claims, I'd expect a better technical explanation and some hard data based on controlled testing, not testimonials of "I just know I get an extra 20 miles a tank now that winter turned to spring and I dumped some extra crap into my tank!"

Hey hey, to be fair I know I could get an extra 20 miles a tank if I dumped some magic stuff in it. Of course the extra 20 miles would come from slowing down and driving like a gramma and have nothing to do with the magic stuff I added.

People can sell anything this days, the sad part is that people actually buy it.
