Gasoline prices have hit new highs over the past few months as the world price of oil kept rising. There has been a little relief lately, but prices are still well above what they were at the end of 1999.
Consumers outrage over high costs has renewed interest in whether there's any way to save on fuel.
One Canadian company says its little-known product can save you big bucks. Edmonton-based PVI International markets the Platinum Vapour Injector. It hooks up to your engine and is designed to feed small amounts of platinum, which are dissolved in the liquid, into the engine. The secret is the role that platinum plays in the burning of fuel. Experts told Marketplace that platinum can act as a catalyst to increase the combustion of gasoline.
