New Petrol Savers Boost Engine Efficiency and Power
Postwar engines with higher compression ratios show improved fuel economy and power in US road tests. Two methods emerged: a dual fuel system using a water-gauged two-bowl setup to switch from low to high grade petrol, and injection of an anti-knock solution into the fuel stream during acceleration.
Special Vitameter anti-knock system for cars tested in US
The Vitameter injects a methanol water mix with lead into the intake to raise octane. Tests with engines at 8 to 9 to 1 compression allowed ordinary petrol use. One gallon of Vital lasts 600 to 2000 miles. Three US petroleum companies backed a plan to seek public acceptance of this anti-knock method.
