New Transmission Could Increase Gas Mileage by 20 to 30 MPG

It’s amazing what you can find on the internet.

Today, I came across an article about a lifelong inventor who has come up with a transmission that would improve gas mileage by 20 to 30 mpg. For a technical explanation of how the new transmission works in comparison to current transmissions, I highly recommend clicking the link – I’d love to explain it, but most of this stuff is beyond me.

Anyway, aside from wanting to bring the new transmission to your attention, I also wanted to show that there are a lot of people out there that are trying to find new ways to make cars more fuel efficient.

Whether it’s improving transmissions, finding out how to change a hybrid to get 100 mpg or finding newer, cleaner and (most importantly) renewable sources of energy, people are out there working hard to make these things a reality.

While many of these inventions or ideas never get past the drawing board, the fact remains that we much continue to explore every option, no matter how silly or impossible they may seem at the time.
