Forget for one second the purported mechanism for greater atomization... assuming a miraculous black box that creates the smallest fuel droplets possible without using any energy, is there validity to the smallest atomization = greatest efficiency thesis?

Quote:
The smaller droplets of fuel, in turn, produce a more efficient engine. The article (which is not an advertisement) further states that this efficiency can approach 20%. Pennsylvania’s Temple University outfitted a diesel vehicle with such a device and the mileage per gallon increased 18.9% - from 32 to 38 mpg.
