I'm not aware of any peer-reviewed articles that have shown organic food to be verifiably better for you, all other things equal.
As I understand it, most of the benefits come from the fact that organic foods are more susceptible to spoilage and contamination, meaning they tend to be fresher and handled more carefully.

Normal car companies (the hondas, fords, gms, chryslers, toypliance) of the world have to meet not only cafe regulations, they have to meet EPA regs as well.
cars would be a hell of a lot more fuel efficient if the epa regs weren't so stringent. but there is the crux of the problem.. what's more important, using less oil, or preventing the oil that's being burnt from forming gases like NOx.
lean burn = high NOx.
he might have a working high mpg engine, but it can't probably go into production because the EPA would shitcan it before it even got close to a sniffer.

Many states don't require inspections. So couldn't he pretty easily set up a conversion business in those places? He could charge a small fortune, as long as customers recouped their costs within a year or two of fuel savings.
The REAL business is in the OEM, but like you said, OEMs have to manufacturer to the lowest common denominator on standards (CARB/EPA, etc)

Sadly, my understanding of thermodynamics won't allow me to believe it.
I do have to admire the guy's moxy. Would you be soliciting the media knowing full well that you'll be revealed as a fraud?

I wonder what his end game is? Burn down his garage before any testing can begin, and claim a conspiracy?
"...and all of the blueprints were in that scorched cabinet right there, so I can't even build another one.
