Well, I suppose I should mention a favorite fantasy of mine ... that some 
chemical engineering Geek will discover/create a catalyst/filter/gadget 
that increases the percentages of oxygen in the "air" presented to the 
intake valves .....   this  is available in a very slight way by using an 
alcohol for fuel, but just not enough ...   and of course various little 
tanks full of nitrous oxide, etc., very cute, but a hassle and not cheap for 
long trips ....   just think of climbing the big mountain passes with 33% 
oxygen instead of normal air with 23% O., maybe still a slight puff from a 
turbo ...

Would also help clean up a diesel, apparently still not at present clean 
enuff for EPA acceptance here in the states.

Just a Dream ...   but still ....
