Gas Savers
Just got the September 2004 issue of CR. In it was an article about gas savers; Fuel Genie, Platinum Gas Saver, and Tornado.
Their advice after testing all 3? Don't waste your money 'cause they DON'T work.

The post was for people who are tempted to try these products, not someone with your vast knowledge. Questions about the Tornado still show up on FTE from time to time.

Who pays CR?

The makers of said products have been known time to time to offer kickbacks for companies pushing the product, magizines giving good reveiws. My freind owns a custom truck shop, and he has company reps coming all the time offering kickbacks if he sells their sub par products.

The CR article said the above products were no good; it didn't give them an endorsement. I'd like to hear from anyone who knows CR gets paid for recommending products.

I'm saying that there are a lot of times that the company gives kickbacks for endorsements. Never said that CR was asked for an endorsment, just saying that it does happen. Dont read between the lines when there is nothing there.

Does it say, "Why" they don't work? I'm just curious...
My curiousity stems from many products that claim to do something but do not. How is it that they are able to make these claims if they are not true? Isn't their a law that prohibits these claims? If so, why aren't more and more being sued for false claims?
See where I am headed here?

The article only said that, after testing, the products didn't improve gas mileage.
As to your other questions, I guess in the good ol' U.S. of A. any company can claim anything until it gets caught and/or sued. You're right, you would think some lawsuits would have been filed by now on these products. I also don't know if they offer a "money-back-guarantee".
