The Oil Drum

The SMH has an article about a new device that can reputedly reduce petrol consumption and greenhouse emissions by 20% from a company called Moletech. Their marketing campaign at the CES show seems to have been very successful, getting the attention of sites like Engadget.

Unsurprisingly, to my cynical eyes, the article is very short on details about how this feat is achieved. While I'd like think we could get a significant boost to both improve fuel economy and lower emissions so easily, it does rather sound like snake oil, all protestations to the contrary. On the subject of miracle fuel saving technologies, what happened to high profile (last year) company Firepower ?
