Default It's a scam - look at their claims

They claim a "0 to 24% increase in fuel economy." What does that mean? It means that even if it does absolutely nothing, they are still correct in their claim.

I've got a magic black box that does just as much, and also can turn red lights green (although it may take several moments for activation, and is not compatible with all lights). $19.95 if you call now.

Default Thx for the feedback

A friend of mine installed in his and he didn't feel much significant power gain but he said he got better mileages on it.

Default Placebo effect

Can he document the better milage? Does he fill the tank every time and check the odometer to calc his mileage, or is this just a gut feeling he has?
