Wow I can't believe this Cactus Jack! This is my neighbor and friend Steve with the 59 Cadillac, he lives around the corner from me on the water. Many nights we would throw a couple racks of our favorite beverages in that old caddy, and cruise around town. The way that thing drinks fuel its a good candidate for a test of some kind.
I helped Steve a little bit with the fabrication of his nitrogen generators (I believe thats what he called them) but I still hav'nt got a conclusive answer as to what kind of mileage improvement is to be expected. He did say that the Oxygen sensors are causing a problem using that system, as the computer senses a lean condition and richens the mixture.
He offered to give me one for my VW diesel, which I hope to try soon. I now get 49 mpg, but 50 or 50+ sounds even better.
Any it was a nice surprise to see this, and if I get a generator for my VW, I will get back to you with the results.
