I have seen this in the back of almost every car magazine that I peruse at the news stand.

Is this just some guy taking advantage of mechanically challenged idiots (like me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ) or does this actually have some basis in technical fact?

Doug: I've seen this, and things like it advertised for quite a while. As a mechanic told me once "If there was something like this that did all that, don't you think Detroit would have it in al their cars?"

'Nuff said.

Hopefully be seeing you at the next DFW outing.

I am pretty suspicious by nature, but many years ago my father built something that was in some technical magazine that was supposed to increase gas mileage by 100%. While it didn't live up to its claim of 100%, it did give an increase of about 8-10 miles per gallon in his tests... He did it for the sheer joy of trying it out, but the I remember him being pretty surprised at the results.

After that, I always have to temper my suspicions by trying to gather the facts before I judge.

However, this just screamed "SNAKE OIL" (thanks Dave) to me...

Just for the sake of knowing, I'd be willing to blow the $49 bucks to see what it does! :-)
