Message:		On the subject of fuel economy mentioned in the fuel price post. We had a new years party at my place and one of the friends of a friend I got talking too who came,turned out to be a lab technician at a Research laborotory in Peterboro working on the future of gas powered engines. He is working with a group of scientist that are working on Diesel engines. According to the guy they are working on a V6 engine that is getting results on benchtests of over 370mpg!!!and he says this is early days and can expect results of over 500mpg!!!!!!and beyond I asked what is special about the engine to return this kind of mileage and got the expected "I'd Have to kill you if I told you answer "All he would say is that benchtesting gives outrageous results but even with that taken into consideration they do expect the future of gas powered engines to be the leader in fuel types for years to come.other than that he said which most of us know is that diesel engines are notoriously inneficient and that most of the secrets are to do with additives to raw diesel and the method of injecting it. I asked was water one of the additives and he said you would be surprised. So what are your thoughts? He was drinking Jack Daniels!!!!!! Cheers for now John
