Americans guzzle 65 billion gallons of fuel a year and lately we have been paying a pretty penny at the pump. NewsChannel 4 has done reports in the past on how to get the most out of your gas. Now we introduce you to a new way to save on those gasoline dollars.

yea..havent we been cryo treating some engine parts for a while now?......seems to be a fairly well trained cryogenist. he can freeze and reasemble the engine..seems coool..i wonder how much it costs to dissasemble the whole h22 and have each part cryo froze..LMAO we should all invest in one of those machines.
BTW: from the inital link i thought people were freezing gas when the price dips....then thawing it and using it in their cars..LMAOLast edited by clarksterdotcom; 06-03-2005, 01:48 AM.

check it out man it's very cool what he does to save gas
yeah i didnt read it...but i guess u said it the rite time..cus gas prices did go down and have been down for a whole in a constant price...and oh yea..i hade reading...i only read stuff on the forum that are short and have pics...hahahSo SIIC...

I have a feeling that the process itself probably a good bit a change. taking the motor apart and putting it back together is fairly easy with the right tools and a honda shop manual in hand.Originally posted by clarksterdotcomyea..havent we been cryo treating some engine parts for a while now?......seems to be a fairly well trained cryogenist. he can freeze and reasemble the engine..seems coool..i wonder how much it costs to dissasemble the whole h22 and have each part cryo froze..LMAO we should all invest in one of those machines.

Okay, that article didn't explain how chemically altering the makeup of the metal in the engine would give you better gas mileage, and I don't know why it would.
As far as making things last longer, they will, if you treat them carefully. But if you put too much pressure on cryo'd parts they will snap instead of bending or warping. Both are bad, but one can send a lot more parts flying through your firewall.-Jay

its a pretty good thought, but its gonna be expensive upfront, i def. know that. Eventually that is where we all need to be, either using that method or another user friendly environmentally safe method for a type of 'gas' that powers our transportation. Within our life time we will see the biggest battle and surge for fossil fuels, and sadly we may lose that battle very quickly.
On another note, gas has been really cheap around Vermont. Mobil is only charging 2.05 for regular, and a near by gas station is charging 1.99 full serve. So for now im not breaking the bank too bad.Audi A4 2.8 Quattro Sport

Same thing i'm thinking! I can't figure out how just re-organizing the molecules could do that. I mean i'd expect a little difference in mpg but a 150% difference!?!? Lets think logically. Lets say the metals surface at an atomic level is very course, porous and has lots of small pockets like a carpet that holds and traps the a/f mixture instead of burning it throughly. Well if we freeze the metal and the atoms glaze over and the surface becomes similar to glass then the a/f mixture is burned alot more thorughly but that still doesn't tell the ecu and fuel injectors to inject less fuel. Or maybe it doens't need nearly as much fuel to reach the same efficiency as it once had because so much more of the fuel is being burned. I can't think of anything other than that.Originally posted by BluejaydeOkay, that article didn't explain how chemically altering the makeup of the metal in the engine would give you better gas mileage, and I don't know why it would.
