Energy balance anyone? How large of an electric field does this take? Pretty large I bet. And where's that energy come from? Your alternator? The added current draw and thus horsepower loss will most likely outweigh any increase - or at least match any gain - of the system.
And I hope that you mean the 20% increase in efficiency is an increase in fuel economy, not thermal efficiency. This would be absurd. Thermal efficiencies of gasoline engines usually are around %30-35 and that's where they stay. Even an ideal thermodynamic otto cycle will only near 50%. Adding 20 to that would be impossible with just a small gain in combustion propagation due to fuel atomization.
