Comments on: 100 MPG Competition Sparks Innovation http://gas2.org/2008/08/20/100-mpg-competition-sparks-innovation/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

There are technologies available to improve fuel efficiency in automobiles. One such technology involes grooving of cylinder heads of engines. However so far there are only some car enthusiasts who have used this US patented technology of Mr Somender Singh(www.somender-singh.com)in their cars. This technology is simple and involves cutting of grooves in the cylinder head and some grindng of the cylinder head to increase compression ratio. This modification ensures complete combustion of fuel and resuts in 20% plus fuel savings. If this technology is widely used, think of the saving of millions of tons of crude import and the reduction in GHG. At the manufacturing stage of car engines, the cost of incorporation of this technology will be practically nothing. Objective to achieve 100mpg is good and let us hope this produces practical solutions.
