Refrigerants

[Raymond C Drouillard]

I have never heard of being able to bust a hydrocarbon chain apart with
sound.  If it did happen, you would get smaller molecules instead of
bigger ones.  That would increase the octane.

Anyhow, my idea had nothing to do with chemically changing the gasoline. 
The sound would simply bust up the drops into really small droplets.  If
this was done at normal intake temperatures, the gas would evaporate,
just like the water does with a humidifier.  If you cool the fuel, the
droplets won't evaporate nearly as readily.  They would end up
evaporating when the fuel/air mixture got hot enough to warm up the
droplets.
