hypermilers

Post by slidenyo »

been squinting over at the Nissan diesel forum,
they've got some rad fuel saving ideas,
running filtered used diesel oil in with the diesel,
steam injection using a turbo downpipe boiler,
fuel heating and heat traced fuel lines,
efficient intercooling

hahaha these guys were pulling 50mpg plus,
which is roughly 20k per litre and they were depositing up to 25% waste oil in their fuel at very little outlay,
pretty decent savings I thought
