This is one of several projects being developed. Initial testing for the last six months has led the company to an increase of mileage per gallon by a minimum of: 6% city and 13% highway driving without sacrificing horsepower. The product is installed in less than 5 minutes. There is no required engine tuning. The results were obtained using standard 89 octane gasoline without any gasoline additives. The stock airbox, stock filter, stock catalytic converter and stock muffler were used. No increase in engine temperature was detected. Engine performance had a slight increase. The fuel injection and ignition timing were not adjusted. A smog inspection test, with the product installed using stock settings, showed a slight decrease in emissions. A substantial decrease of 10-20% was measured using an after market air filter system. Currently, a mixture of 76 vehicles including motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks and SUVs are being tested on the road today. Further research shows that 25 mpg of highway driving can be obtained on a full size vehicle using all of the manufacturer's stock components. The fuel economy estimates are based on results of tests required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/info.shtml#estimates) Their test is the following: -- the test to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents a mixture of "non-city" driving. Segments corresponding to different kinds of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test simulates a 10- mile trip and averages 48 mph. The maximum speed is 60 mph. The test is run with the engine warmed up and has little idling time and no stops (except at the end of the test). Vehicles are tested at 68�F to 86�F ambient temperature. ClearInnovation's highway driving test results recorded an average mileage per gallon increase of 13% increase using the following test criteria: -- an exact 80.2 mile trip in an ambient temperature of 78�F and an average speed of 70 mph. The maximum speed is 70 mph. The test is run with the engine warmed up and has little idling time and no stops (except at the end of the test). ClearInnovation is interviewing manufacturing and distributing partners, contact information is listed below. Sample data is available for serious inquiries only. Estimated Retail Value: $49.95 for cars $69.95 for trucks and SUVs ClearInnovation Bill Irwin ClearInnovation@y... 650 365-6020 � MarketWire 2004
