These things always come out of the woodwork when gas prices spike. None of them have ever panned out.

Yep, they work great. The gas fairy brought me one a few months ago. Now I get over 100mpg in my Jeep. :D

If it was you would see it on the news as being one of the greatest discoveries. It would also come in every new car and the auto makers trying to meet EPA standards would be a thing of the past.

The ONLY thing that will net you that kind of improvement is turning the key-OFF!

Garbage. All you chevy fans out there notice that Chevy 2500 did not come equipped with a 5.7 liter. IMO Bogus engine claims.

I read a sign in a Post Office some 30 years back, & it stuck in my head all these years,"If it says it works miracles, It's probably a miracle if it works!" Seems to apply here. IMHO, Joe

jtexas, don't listen to those guys. Buy one and let us know how it works.After all it does have a 30 day money back offer. My cousin bought one of those turbo spin thingies that go in your air filter to increase gas mileage and performance and his MPG went up by a whole....zero.. and the power.."it seems like maybe it might have a little more power". :D

Back in the 70's I installed a multiple of these "gas" savers to my vehicle. The only problem was that I had to stop every 50 to 60 miles to drain out the overflow gas from my tank. I was saving so much that the gas tank overflowed. ;)

So, you're the guy with the 400 MPG carburetor. You must be living in luxury with all that $$$ the big oil companies bought you off with. ;) :D

Yup and diesels would be gone too. I think they should go for an IPO . . . :p :p

Popular Mechanics did an article on these hokey gas mileage improvers... Turns out they were all bullpoopy... At the end of the article, their point was that if these things really did what they said they do... the automakers would have put them in the cars by now.

Phewy forsure look at the installation directions,hooked into the PCV ,atleast they could have done it through the EGR might have been more believable that way.
