I Beat both Mercedes "MINI Range" and "Toyota Prius"
 
On city/highway driving, my Infiniti G20T now reached 65mpg - 73mpg. No
battery required, and no stingy driving required. That's right, I will let
you put my car to test (if you belong to a media company), by driving from
WA State to CA with 1 tank of fuel, 14-15 gallons. My Mercedes E320 also
reached 51mpg mark, I could improve it a little bit better if I have the
time. I'm thinking to write a book on how to increase the MPG, My question
to you is, would you think people will buy my book at $99 The problem is,
not every one has the same skill in terms of car mechanic and computer
program, the lack of their understanding could make my book looks like a
scam.

Thanks for your input.

Why buy expensive hybrid when you can have luxury, safety, force and
efficiency at the same time?


Here is Info about Mercedes MINI Range,

Remember, 72.4 miles per imperial gallon translates to 60.28 miles per US
gallon- and this is for the average figure of combined city/highway driving

Do I asume that neither Mercedes and Toyota (Lexus) aren't interested?
I wonder why:-). Perhaps snake oil comes to mind.

Perhaps poor engrish grammar make your book looks like a scam.
Seriously, if you want to make money, make it on service, not the
book. Offer to do this for people (modify their cars), not sell a book
for an exorbitant cost. $99 for a book is scam no matter what the
subject is.
If you want people to buy it at that price make it a college textbook,
thats the only way I would pay that much money for a book.

Use the power of the internet. First, create a short ad in youtube to
show off your car. After that, people can comment if its a scam or not.

Thanks Ed, I thought about that idea too but how can you prove to people
that your video is not a scam? It can be manipulated like photos. You
can't video all the way to 800-900 miles of driving, you have to stop and
start the video, this is where people will have doubt.

I thought about having someone put a security tape on my gas cap to
guarantee that I will not refuel. This security tape must come from someone
I do not know. What do you think about this idea?
