Some people believe they can increase the mileage through a magnet, that's another phony theory. You can tell from the uneducated sellers.

I tried your magnet on my fuel line in 1982, I didn't notice any change on my car fuel economy; that's why we spent a fortune to research the cure for oil crisis. If you believe your magnet works, please bring your car to show off with our car (that we have doubled in mileage.) Can you bring yours to Seattle KOMO TV or KIRO 7 TV sometimes next week?

He told me that the thing has a 96HP electric motor which, of course, does most of the start and stop heavy work. He also says that the batter(y)(ies), in the rear of the vehicle, are covered by a special warranty for eight years, or 100K miles. The vehicle warranty is three years, or 36K miles.

Every battery has its limitation, if you brake hard (you put in 2A, you only get 1A in return approximately), this explains why some people get 25-32mph on a hybrid. If you want more mileage, plan ahead and try to avoid braking. If you're in a rush, speeding and braking won't save you energy, only with our tune-up vehicles you can speed and brake often, you still will come better than a hybrid 37-41mpg usually on aggressive drive, otherwise 51mpg.

Dori A Schmetterling - 12 Apr 2009 10:26 GMT And in a number of countries diesel fuel is (or was) MUCH cheaper than petrol, tho' there might also have been a compensatory tax on the car... it's a complex issue.
In this context it is noteworthy that Britain was late to take to diesel. The fuel did have a price advantage but no longer since the tax rates were aligned with petrol.

As I state above concerning Japanese brakes, look at the rear brakes careful, in a caliper, there is a piston equipped with 4 holes on its surface, this piston pushes/pinches your brake pads against the rotor. The piston can move forward but not backward far enough, due a notch of your brake pads that got locked in one of the 4 holes. When the pads worn out, the pads get pushed in further to pinch the rotor causing another terrible friction. This action is called Self-adjust brake system. Should I go further educating you poor mechanic?

The >solution is to have the pads retract from the rotor mechanically >(springs?) or hydraulically (negative fluid pressure/vacuum). I don't why you guys keep discussing this garbage with an obvious snake oil salesman, but you don't have to rebuild very many calipers to know that the rubber ring around the piston acts both as a seal and as a retracting device. It doesn't pull it back much, but it's enough to lift the pad off the rotor.

There is a reason why carmakers allow substantial amount of frictions on your brake. If remove it too much, the car will go too fast, it won't be easy to manage the speed. We solve this problem by converting the brake friction to energy and restore it back to a battery. Most people are ignorant when it comes to battery power. You need to have plenty of battery's power in order to produce powerful ignition. That's why OFS creates a device to convert friction-to-energy by increasing electrical load on your alternator just briefly when you're slowing down, when you brake and when you come down hill too fast. That's why we are able to reach 90-mpg on Mercedes-Benz by reusing that power capturing during vehicle slowing down.
Cheers,
GasSaver

Codswallop 3. And a possible overcharged battery to boot. You're never going to recoup even a skerric of regenerative braking energy by producing a 0.0384% fatter spark. Or by overcharging the battery now, so as to briefly and marginally reduce the alternator load in a few minutes' time.
There's also no doubt that drivers can improve fuel consumption dramatically when they're trying to prove a point by driving very economically.

We're supposed to believe that auto manfacturers, desperate to do anything to get even a tiny increase in MPG to meet CAFRA standards and sell more cars, intentionally design in brake friction when the brakes aren't applied to "manage the speed."
The BS about needing extra battery power to achieve proper ignition spark is a close runner up. The amount of power needed to crank the engine is orders of magnitude more than that required to provide ignition. Just take a look at the size of the wires going to the starter and the ignition. The starter one is easy to find, it's huge. The ignition one is so inconsequential you can't even distinguish it from all the other wires. Plus, last time I checked, when the car is running, the alternator is what is actually providing the power for all the various electrical systems in the car, regardless of the size of the battery.

When our cars move, they moves swiftly, you don't normally hear the engine noise. That proves we make your engine work less hard.
When out-of-gas light is one, you can still go 100-120 miles with ours. That proves the ECU thinks it can go 40 miles only because we don't mess around with the car's software.

Understand this, you do not get detailed design from Honda / Toyota neither about their hybrid vehicles. They tell you briefly about their battery system to confuse you, in reality you get the most out of better mechanism and better chemical reaction. If your intention is to save fuel then you will be fine OFS.
We will explain in person how thing works, for example if you want extra horse power, we would ask your permission to do a little modification to your air intake (not all tune-up will need this requirement), the little change won't be noticeable outside your vehicle. You can do your regular oil change, air filter change etc.. Our tune-up won't interfere with your routine maintenance.
Let me remind you, severe economic stress is coming ahead, do not let it force you to make a practical decision the last minute, do plan ahead. We lower our prices substantially comparing to the last 3-yrs. You would want people with experience in electrical system, in computer logic processing, in better mechanism, and in chemistry to take good care of your car. Good luck with your decision.

PS. Energy is not created in the tailpipe like some people think, it's in your combustion. More Energy = Better compression + Reduced loads.

They well may be (smarter than I), but I see absolutely no evidence of it. If they're correct, then (by parity of reasoning), running on LPG should be much more /fuel/ /efficient/ than running on liquid fuel.
It isn't.
In company with yourself, if their engineering is as good as their grammar and their logic, they should be avoided like the plague.

If an engine is built to run LPG, higher compression, stronger ignition system, more ignition advance, different ignition curve and a high boost turbo, you not only get higher performance, you also get similar instead of inferior fuel consumption levels, and retain the clean burning characteristics of LPG.

There's something wrong with your ideas. LPG or Propane is a shorter chain molecule than petrol and therefore will have a lower flash point than petrol, requiring if anything lower compression and certainly not more advanced timing than petrol. Increasing boost pressure allows more fuel to be burnt giving more power, but at the expense of greater fuel usage. So you still end up with only 85% efficiency compared to petrol. Don't forget what happened when the EU tried to get diesel engines to run on any fuel from diesel to petrol, after getting over the injection pump wear issues, it was found that petrol was sticking to the cylinder walls instead of a clean burn and a 25mpg diesel engine would only give about 13mpg when used with petrol.

Chemically you describe things correctly but you said there is no gain from mixing LPG with gasoline, that is just your theory, it isn't a reality. I gain 8-10mpg on top of my 50mpg. Remember Gasoline and Propane are present at the same time, you get a quick and long burning stroke. LPG burns first then its heat burns any unburnt Gasoline making each stroke a more complete burn.
When I shut off my LPG tank, I can see a drop in horse power and in fuel efficiency by about 10mpg. 1-gallon of LPG is good for 14gallons of Gasoline. Any way do google for propane tanks for trucks, I've found a manufacturer in US selling them quite expensive around $900 a tank to be used with the same technique. Also do a search on a patent site, someone already file a patent for this idea.
I don't think mixing LPG for diesel engine is a good idea but I could be wrong.
The only thing I don't like about selling LPG mixture with Gasoline to general public is, it's dangerous with the way people handling the tank. Customers can blew themselves up easily and blame their problem on someone else.

Rubbish, the amount of fuel introduced into the cylinders is a stoichiometric ratio for complete combustion, adding more hydrocarbons (that's what LPG is) will destroy this mixture and lead to unburned fuel pouring out of the exhaust, polluting the atmosphere and costing money to the person that try's.

Diesel works just fine *with* LPG as additive, rather than LPG instead of diesel in a diesel engine.
It works in a similar way on tuned diesel engines that nitrous oxide works on petrol engines. And just like the petrol equivalent, it works much better on forced induction engines than normally aspirated.

Turbo diesels reach a point where even with the boost up they can't suck in enough air to get enough oxygen to burn cleanly hence big soot on drag racing tractors and diesel dragsters and circuit racing trucks.
Injecting propane not only gives an additional fuel burst, it also releases extra oxygen that can help with the excess diesel and remove some of the subsequent black smoke.

There is one customer waiting for us to improve his diesel truck. I would try increase OXYGEN flow first before adding LPG. He lives in a hot climate, I'm not sure if I want to add LPG for him. I'm afraid his mishandling LP tank could cause him a good grief, later his family could accuse us. If LPG is added OXYGEN level has to be increased otherwise your engine will stall. I've seen this problem on Gasoline engines several times.
Nitrous oxide (N2O or NOS), sounds good except it can damage your engine's pistons particularly if your car has bad frictions. There is a limit of compression stroke on each cylinder. With Zero-friction like Mercedes-Benz's *(that we are able to correct), I'm fraid N2O is not suitable to be added, maybe if we can control the amount N2O. Refilling N2O tank is a major issue, you may need a license.
Currently we are able to turn frictions into energy and we are very proud of our work.

LPG has a lower calorific value so requires more fuel, but has a higher octane so can handle more advance and compression before pre-ignition.
Using sequential injection rather than a simple gas ring in the inlet and the correct ignition and compression (or artificially raised through forced induction) you can at least equal petrol efficiency.
It isn't rocket science, LPG is the ideal for for turbo boosting and because of the better resistance to knock, you don't need to over-richen the mixture to reduce the risk of knock. Petrol and diesel engines very often run massively rich under boost to cool the engine to keep the knock down.

Just experience that manufacturers would rather throw your fuel, at providing extra protection, than their money at providing a replacement engine. They cover their own arses by using slight overfueling, using the additional fuel to cool the piston tops and avoid knock. It is a standard practice because production engines are no where near blueprinted and vary enough that you can't fine tune for varying driver use and the life of the vehicle.
My old Celica GT4 (all-trac) used to cover the read valance with black soot (it was petrol) even though the emisions were well within the UK fairly strict MOT standards, it even ran rich after the boost was upped by 5PSI, right to the safe limit of the standard toyota fueling map/headgasket.

Generally, 500 to 1,000 full discharge/charge cycles is about the upper limit for the life of such a battery.
But hybrid cars don't discharge their batteries very deeply at all. So the above figures become somewhat meaningless. In that situation, what's important is the cumulative total energy taken from / returned to the battery. And just age and temperature related degradation.
We'll really have to wait and see as a history develops for this battery chemistry in this application.

I haven't researched the battery types used in full-electric cars, but I'd expect them to be more exotic chemistries, selected with very strong emphasis on the energy-to-weight ratio.
