I'm a little skeptical. I'd like to see unbiased verification.

me too,,,the miles i drive and the gas i burn,,,i'm very seriously thinking of trying to contact the fellow and send him my engine to work his magic on

I believe the increase in engine life, but the milage is a bit too amazing....don't see how a more refined grain structure and greater toughness yields incredible increases in gas milage.

it would have to be the result of less friction.

mmmmm... like the edge of a cyro knife cutting easier

Good stuff, but off to G&G.

Complete BS. I don't care if it added 5 thousand dollars to the price; if Honda could get 120mpg from doing it, they would be doing it at the factory.

I've heard annecdotal evidence that supports cryo freezing brake rotors when racing (crack less), but thats about it.

the only reason i would think of companies not to do it is the time it takes to cool it and then warm it back up. I think I am correct in saying that it is a timely process, and temperatures have to be precisely controled.

I know that there ar ea few companies who do this for rifle barrels, and it is supposed to help acheieve and maintain stellar accuracy.

Not necessarily. Well even assuming the story is true, I doubt it would be that efficient, but...

Many vehicles being sold today could be much more efficient and actually end up saving the consumer money over the life of the vehicle. However, they cost more up front. It seems that many people cannot see the long-term benefits, given our push-button, buy now pay later, I want it now society. As a result, higher prices = reduced sales.
