I sure hope their research is better than their press release !
"Air ... does not contain enough oxygen to react fully with gasoline ..." <g>
And BTW, the ACS didn't announce anything, this was just a paper presented at
one of their conferences. Research scientists are expected to "publish or
perish", the papers presented at ACS sometimes reflect this. Does anyone
remember the "polywater" hoax, or the "Ice-9" scare ? I believe an ACS
conference was even where Linus Pauling announced to the world that massive
doses of Vitamin C would cure everything from the common cold to fallen arches.
Funny thing is, Dr. Pauling is dead, but the common cold lives on ...
