Snake oil or real, fuel saver 5000

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

Uf you pay for it, it's already done what it's supposed to do.

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".

Those installation instructions may as well be titled:
"A Sure Way to Start a Fire Under Your Hood"

Well, not sure what instructions you saw. It is a pretty straight forward setup. Just did a mileage check this morning, 110 miles, main roads and freeway, it did 24.4 MPG. Can't wait to install the Morgan-Tec cold air system that Mike is building for it. I don't sell these, I don't get a kick back, don't have shares in the company. Just wasn't pleased with the mileage it got, espically with the price of gas these days, so thought I would give it a try. Hey, it works for me.
