    For sure I am skeptical, but what I'm more skeptical about is having work done on a high pressure fuel system. I burned one to the ground because of a fuel leak, (not a vx), don't want to do that again.

    LOL! I've got a bridge you can by online that will get you where you want quicker with less fuel. Just send cash...


    Seriously, all the "fuel savers" and similar scams prey on those at the mercy of high fuel prices. If such technology truly existed the auto manufacturers would be using it. Think about it: What would happen to a car manufacturer's market share if they started producing cars with ultra fuel efficiency? They'd dominate the market, license the technology to the other manufacturers for a mint, and be rolling in the $$$$.

    Scam-scam-scam!!! If it's too good to be true, it is false. If it worked, then every car comany in the world would install it in their vehicles.

    Save your $250 before you screw up your engine.

    yea I know, scam scam scam, but I could always use a bridge, espically with as many as I have burned down behind me in the past.

    I was talking to the installer today about it, (a railroad engine mechanic). He has them on two of his vehicles, and his girlfriends Hydia whatever with a 1.7 straight 4. Looked at all of them, pretty slick install. he's claiming (of course he would) nice numbers, 53 mpg hiway on his girlfriends car. His Dodge, jacked up to the heavens 2500 getting 17 city, 23 hiway or something like that. And as far as the big three go, I can remember back in the 50's, yes, I'm that old, Detroit coming out with something and the oil industry buying the patients. Now why wasn't 'snopes' available back then.

    Well, I haven't wasted any money lately, not to include those damn Vehicross stickers for the headrest, (read the doorsill thread).

    It looks cool. maybe I will be the group idiot. And you know, a 1000 mile trip to ZUZOO will be a test. And if it doesn't work, he will buy it back,... he says.

    P.S. bring that bridge to ZUZOO, I might buy it, or at least a drink or two

    Well I didnt read it all but right off near the beginning when it reads "advertised" in Pop Sci. and Pop Mech., rather than "featured" makes me doubtful, obviously there is a HUGE difference between the two. Being an avid reader of both magazines I have never seen an article on it, so I'm guessing its in the back in the classified ads.

    Yep, right between "magnetic levitation" and "lunar real estate".
