That should make cold starts way better too.Quote: The company also treats the gasoline with a catalyst that "activates" it, partially oxidizing it to enhance combustion That's interesting - I wonder if it's the good old Russian/South-African system.

So, perhaps Erik was right with the fuel in frame models, it certainly heats the petrol up ! |

A modern Mondeo Diesel estate with the whole family, dogs and luggage in it does over 60mpg when used moderately; even the 2 litre petrol version will return nearly 55. So what's the great news here? Maybe it's because the article uses the Prius as the standard, which struggles to reach 40 mpg on the motorway and with two engines and a huge battery pack putting more strain on our planet's resources than any other mid-size car you can buy today.
