Thumbs down SCAM alert--do not believe this!!!!

Well here we go again. For those of you who enjoy reading about the latest mileage scam, check this out!!!! Do not buy this. Just for one thing to mention, can you imagine a 318 ci engine in a van being able to run up a 30 degree incline at 65 mph for an hour??? not me!

OH, that's rich!

" When they shut off the engine, the researchers reported that it coasted on the plasma for another two minutes."

What the hell are they on???
And who do they think is STUPID enough to buy into it?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Ah yes, the pre-ignition catalytic converter.

Like I said before- These guys have a 6" x 6" x 4 1/2" unit that draws 15 amps, and separates water into hydrogen and oxygen...yet no one else has been able to figure this out?

The sad thing is that people will buy it, then to overcome their embarassment of being ripped off, will swear that they get ungodly MPG's with it. Just like those that have the Tornados and fuel line magnets!

Here's the funny part: there ain't no way, no how a 318 in a van going 65 MPH up a 30-degree incline would get 22 MPG (their "control"), let alone NINE TIMES that.

Grass digested and excreted by a male bovine.

well, it might....if you don't count the big diesel rig that's pushing it, while the van idles .

I've driven a couple 318-powered Dodge vans. I don't think they could have got up a 30-degree incline by themselves at any speed.
