Comments on: Do you know your car’s true mpg? http://www.leftlanenews.com/do-you-know-your-cars-true-mpg.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:43:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bill W http://www.leftlanenews.com/do-you-know-your-cars-true-mpg.html/comment-page-1#comment-189 Bill W Wed, 09 Nov 2005 09:08:51 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=324#comment-189 There are more than just stories at his site. So far about six people have taken the instructions on his site to their mechanic and had the heads redone. Only positive comments. Like... idle speed down to 600 from 1100, engine temp 20 deg lower, smooth accelleration in second gear from a dead stop (89 Celica) etc. Each engine tested from snowmobile to lawnmower, diesel, gas, racing engine and daily driver post these same results. People would have to be idiots not to see the advantages of such a simple modification. Somebody has got to see the benefits of this. I'd spring for testing if I could, but rising interest rates have me scared to do anything right now. Good luck Somender! There are more than just stories at his site.

More can be accessed by doing a google search for this visionary. Somender Singh is his name. He even has a website www.somender-singh.com Open Source Energy Network have a detailed article on his 'Design to improve turbulence in combustion chambers ' & how to attempt hacking your head. I think the EPA needs to wake up to simple solutions before gas runs out.
