    Why I post in fuel savings and torque threads . . .

    Maybe this belongs in non-boating tech, but since it also involves economics, and because I want to, I am posting here. I have mentioned these applications before and even posted a picture or two, but this may put what the company I work for does into a little more focus. We manufacture fuel...
