Bear in mind, they are dealing with resistance not only from automotive competitors, but the petroleum industry as well.

When faced with such powerful adversaries, you'd have to stay ahead of their efforts to demean and ridicule your product.

Risky? Oh, absolutely. However......See my signature.

Love the signature!
