Is this the one you are going to get with the savings?

I believe the theory is good, the idea is good, but it's too little to make a significant difference. Maybe like .01 MPG better...and people move their feet too much on the skinny pedal to notice that.

That crap ab 10-20% increase in fuel mileage is junk. If it worked, it'd cost alot more than $15. I think I will try it out. Heck, it's only $15. If it works, then I'll let everyone in the world know ab it, haha.

I think it was in another thread they were saying that MPG results are always overexaggerated.
And the people who actually stupidify into buying this crap install it, then they drive really carefully, they don't want to screw up their MPG increasing thing! So by driving carefully, easing on the gas and what not, they in effect skew the results.
The MPG with the thing wouldn't of changed, but by them driving more carefully, they increased their MPG, perhaps substantially (especially in a heavy truck or SUV, you may well get a noticeable increase), and therefore think that the peice of crap worked. By trying not to skew the results, they skew the results lol.

Was this already in this topic?

Lol, yeah, you could get a tornado too. I should start ebay store, i can sell them in packages. The tornado gives you 10-15% more power and mileage, the magnet with its gaussian value of 6,500 gives you 10-20%, and the resistor gives you 25 HP. So on a new SOHC 4.0 you could get as much 90 HP increase!!!!!! Everyone would buy it. Sell it as a kit, make some $$$$.

The Oil companies would put you out of business. I like your package deal though.

Hey, if you add some blinky lights, and some kind of billet piece, you could charge an extra $100!!

You know, i think i might just throw in some of those tire flies too. The ultimate in style and technology. I could also throw in one of those electric turbo's too. I think those are good for an extra 30 percent boost. That would put the HP output up to 150 more horses with all the other stuff.
