The NIH factor......any of us who have tried to supply or sell any Detroit car company new technology knows that NIH (Not Invented Here) attitudes dominate every company. They will either break the patent or just buy and kill the technology. How do I know? I once represented a small company that had a device that increased engine life by almost 2/3, a statement backed up by at least ten independent lab tests. The doors to Detroit were shut tight. I mention this because WND has a piece on the so called vortex technology, a device you can place inside an automobile intake valve that will dramatically increase gasoline mileage. "Gee wouldn't you think the car companies would stumble all over themselves to get this device if it really did the job?" No, Waldo, they decidedly would not. I have no idea if it works, but it bears looking into.......

Addendum: CNN has tested this device and it doesn't work....
