As others have mentioned, if this worked so well, car makers would have them installed already. No car company would give up the improved milage - with the resultant increase in sales, reduction in government taxes/fines, etc, if it were that easy.
As to patented, a patent is no guarantee of something working. I should know, I have four patents. All a patent says is that your concept is unique (not previously done) and not obvious to an average person schooled in the field. A patented device DO NOT HAVE TO WORK to obtain a patent.
My favorite (and true) statement about patents - "It doesn't have to work to be patented, it just need to fail uniquely"
Sorry about the 70USD.
