Gas-saving device

I don't know if any of you have ever seen one of these, but I'm thinking of giving it a try to help with my fuel mileage.

Anybody have any experience with these?

Kind of embarrasing for me because I bought one and saw no mileage increase.
I gave them a Negative feedback score and they didn't appreciate that.
After many angry e-mails and photos back and forth we determined that I had installed the device improperly.

(it goes under the gas pedal)

Man, I'm in the wrong business - if I could sell a scrap piece of 2x4 for 20 bucks on Ebay, I'd be rolling.

the sad thing about this is that 7 people have bid 22 times on this and that this thing is selling currently for 22 bucks.

I showed it to my wife and she laughed a lot, then mentioned that whoever bought it could easily end up on TV...
Wait for it.

Yeah, but the Certificate of Stupidity that comes with it would be worth it! All I have is a college degree! Does that qualify?!

My gosh! I have seen it all now. I love the statement that it provides "200% to INFINITE%" better than the other devices. In grade school math we learned that 200% to INFINITE% of zero is still zero. Who in the heck buys this stuff? I think it has to be a joke posting. Even the feedback looks strange. I probably should have not replyed to this posting to let it die.
