The Official U.S. Government Test, EPA's Federal Test Procedure, Has Proven That Your Automaker Can Give You 49% More Miles Per Gallon By Applying These 5 Steps

BOSTON, May 4, 2009 -- Since these five steps reduce the compression ratio to 5 to 1 and enlarge the expansion ratio to 15 to 1 without a loss of torque, these fuel saving modifications are equally applicable to both newer and older design engines.

The values given here are for a 2 liter 4 cylinder engine. Other engines would require different values to these modifications.

1. Reduce the size of each combustion chamber at top dead center from the present 50 to 60 cubic centimeters to 30 cubic centimeters by using taller pistons or by shaving the head or both.

2. Engineer two intake manifolds so that one intake manifold will service cylinders 1 and 4, and the second intake manifold will service cylinders 2 and 3.

3. Engineer a valve at the beginning of each intake manifold which will begin to open when its respective cylinders are at top dead center and will be fully closed when its respective cylinders are at bottom dead center.

When these valves are open, this part of the engine is an intake manifold. When these valves are closed this part of the engine is a holding tank.

4. Engineer the volume of each intake-manifold-holding-tank (when all of its valves are closed) to be between .50 and .75 liters.

5. The intake valve should begin to open at top dead center of its intake stroke and must be fully closed prior to the firing of the spark plug, in the 40 degree to 45 degree range before top dead center of its compression stroke.
