The US
Department of Energy states that a 5% reduction in fuel economy would cut
fuel consumption by 100 million barrels of fuel annually. Purchase

vehicles fuel economy.
Only
about 15% of the energy in the fuel that you put in your gas tank
gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories
like air conditioning or power steering. The rest of the energy
is lost. Because of this, the potential to improve fuel economy
with advanced technologies is vast."
Motor vehicles need to accelerate (overcome inertia), to push the
air out of their way (aerodynamic drag), and to overcome the friction
from tires, wheels and axles (rolling resistance). Fuel provides
the needed energy in the form of chemicals that can be combusted
(oxidized) to release heat. Engines transform heat released in combustion
into useful work that ultimately turns the vehicle's wheels propelling
it down the road.
Even modern internal combustion engines convert only one third of
the energy in fuel into useful work. The rest is lost to waste heat,
the friction of moving engine parts, or to pumping air into and
out of the engine. All of the steps at which energy is wasted are
opportunities for advanced technologies to increase fuel economy.

The figure above illustrates
the paths of energy through a typical gasoline-powered vehicle in
city driving. Of the energy content in a gallon of gasoline, 62% is
lost to engine friction, engine-pumping losses, and to waste heat.
In urban driving, another 17% is lost to idling at stoplights or in
traffic. Accessories necessary for the vehicle's operation (e.g.,
waterpump) or for passenger comfort (e.g., air conditioning) take
another 2%.
Just over 18% of the energy in gasoline makes it to the transmission.
Losses in the drive train to friction and slippage claim more than
5%, leaving a bit less than 13% to actually move the vehicle down
the road. The laws of physics will not permit all of these losses
to be entirely eliminated. But improvements are possible at every
step.
The 12.6% of original fuel energy that makes it to the wheels must
provide acceleration (5.8%) and overcome aerodynamic drag (2.6%) and
rolling resistance. In stop and go city driving, it is not surprising
that acceleration is the biggest need, rolling is next, followed by
aerodynamic drag. On the highway the order is reversed: aerodynamic
drag, which increases at an increasing rate with speed, requires the
most energy (10.9%).
Each of these final uses of energy also represents an opportunity
to improve fuel economy. Substitutions of high strength lightweight
materials can reduce vehicle mass and thus the energy required for
acceleration. Smoother vehicle shapes have already reduced drag significantly,
but further reductions of 20-30% are possible. Advanced tire designs
can cut rolling resistance.
On the inside of an engine, adding Microlon changes the properties
of the metal surfaces. The one-time treatment penetrates the metal
surfaces, leaving behind a super-slippery film. Metal-to-metal contact
is changed to Microlon-to-Microlon contact which is much more efficient,
meaning less energy is used to overcome friction, and more energy
makes it to your drive train.
