Good, sounds like H2O SCAM deal. Now back to Gasoline, I already found a
way to cut the fuel cost in half using your current combustion system, I
don't want to file for a patent, it's too costly and time consuming. if BUSH
pays me, then your problem is solved. He spent $9b/day in IRAQ, if he pays
me only $2B, then US problem is solved.
