im doing a servey on how many people would be willing to drop a pill or powder into there gas tank at each fill up if they could get 5-10 more miles per gallon

You already can - they are called octane enhancers.\n\nTo answer your question, In principle yes, but I would need convinced that it was worth the money and did no harm to the engine or increased the emissions.

Yes this is an important topic.\nthe amount is tiny really.\nwhy not try to blow up a balloon and never burst it then all th gas will be traped and not effect the environment\nx x x

How about we just stop driving cars that give less than 20 miles/gallon? That will accomplish just as much as alternative energy and it's probably easier. \n\n\nBy the way, can you guess the 5 countries that we get most of our oil from?\n\nWould you have guessed Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Nigeria are 4 of the top 5? Saudi Arabia is the only Middle Eastern country in the 5 (at #3).\n\nThat last comment is exactly why it can't happen. People aren't willing to sacrifice the looks of a car in order to lessen our dependence on oil. Everyone wants someone else to solve their problems instead of doing something about it themselves. Typical.

Most would settle to the bottom of the tank and join all the rust that's already there. Carbon and Potassium Nitrate aren't soluble enough in gasoline (and neither is the graphite form of carbon used to polish the granules in commercial gunpower).\n\nHowever, the sulfur would partially dissolve and eventually ruin the car's catalytic converter. It might even lead to a bit of a smelly exhaust for a while.\n\nNow, if you didn't mean gunpowder, but mean nitrocellulose (which is a more common propellant in modern guns), then you could give him a nice octane boost. However, it takes several days to a week for nitrocellulose to dissolve in gasoline (depending on temperature and 'shaking'). So, don't expect much very soon.\n\nI think the thing you are missing here is that gasoline isn't burned in the tank. Only a small, filtered amount is burned in the engine at one time. That's why you get miles per gallon and not gallons per mile.

I'd turn it into a light interval workout for as long as I can stomach it then walk out the rest.  \n\nWith temps at the START in the 80s?  I wouldn't be doing the intervals for very long before easing off the gas.

It varies with the grade produced.  This example is is 94.5 nitromethane with nitroethane and nitropropane.  I doubt there is any measurable amount of propane left in the commercial product.

i would love to drive to where you are and give you a present, but with gas at $4.00 a gal.,i think i just crashed the party! sorry

That is a good point. I think most people would be greedy. I think personally I would take into account how much of that product people would need and wither people would be able to afford it. With gas it is used so much and by so many that they can afford to make it cheap and still get rich.

gasoline (you may call it 'petrol')

I like the idea of Bio fuel, you can make a low octane fuel from all kinds of agricultural bi-products. We happen to be really good at agriculture

it depends on the drug, and the state in which you try to fill it.\n\nIt is probably for what is called a 'legend' drug, in which case it is good for one year from when it was written......in Utah which is where I live. Call your pharmacy, they can tell you the answer in 5 seconds.

id say keep them money will come...  I'm in Louisville KY- by the end of this summer it will be almost $5 a gallon- its already $2.85+  don't loose it. we still have a untapped source in Alaska.  you know as well as i do that our politicians wont tap it until the rest of the world is dry.  then when they finally do it will be ridiculous. you will be rich.

Only if you are using a stolen or fradulent means to pay for it.  You can fill as many as you like.  Most stations though have like a $100 limit for gas before you have to re-use the credit card...

$1.95 per gallon during the quarter ended September 30, 2005\n\nAirlines, today, average about 40 passenger miles per gallon - a statistic that compares favorably with even the most efficient autos.\n\nSo a rough estimate is fuel costs = miles X (airplane capacity) X $1.95

How ever many are under the hood of my car.  Gee, but they do drink gas.  Guess I better sell them!

lower gas prices!!!!!!!

Definitely sounds like a scam... gas 'snakeoil' if you will.\n\nWhat are the other things you can do to save gas?
