I don't know if it works but, after reading your thread I bought 3,000 shares of the company.

Popular Mechanics has a web site where there was an article about these miracle things for mileage improvement. They are ALL junk. Gas pedal, chicken egg, foot. That'll improve the mileage.

The overall best way to save gas mileage that I have found is just to not drive anywhere. Have your buddy drive.

That seems to work good. The F-150 stays clean that way too!

Same kind of worthless piece of crap.

Any improvement you think you have is just a placebo affect...it's all in your mind.

You think it runs stronger because you WANT it to run stronger. The "butt dyno" is notoriously inaccurate because it's controlled from upstairs.

What people don't realize is that they cancel each other out.
The only way to see appreciable gains is to buy them in odd numbers.

I bought nine.

I ran out of room under the hood and attached some to the fenders and roof.
People think I'm driving a Police Car.

I haven't pulled anyone over yet, that would just be ridiculous.
(I don't have a uniform)

Raoul,

Isn't that straight jacket you wear considered a uniform?

No way.
In my opinion you aren't really wearing a uniform unless you can salute somebody.

(hey, it's Wednesday! I get jello!)
