Gas Saver?

[A.Hidalgo]

Saw this in the news today about a guy in the Dominican Republic that claims to have invented a gas regulator for automobiles that saves up to 35% of gasoline and up to 20% on diesel. His name is Carlos Almonte and calls the regulator Control Moderado Permanente de Combustible (CMPC). A test run was done from Santo Domingo to Santiago and the gas consumed was half the normal usage. Has anybody checked this out yet?

I wouldn't be surprised to find out if the regulator simply cuts off the gas when the motor is decelerating to a certain minimum rpm. The reason I assume this is because most cars anymore use fuel injection, which are highly engineered and designed by scientists using the latest computer modeling - ie there really isn't a whole lot left to "discovering" new ways to get mileage out of gas.
