Question Anyone know about this thingamabob?

I saw this (yet another) Vortex device. At least they got it in the place that it will do the most ACTUAL work. Any input on it??

Why does that page say to "always wear gloves when working on an engine that's NOT running" ???

Uh, the last time I wore gloves to work on anything was when it was 15 degrees outside

Anyway, another bunch of hype. What'll happen is after you put it on, you'll try even harder to keep your foot out of the gas, trying to get the absolute best milage you can get. That alone will cause you to get a few more .XX MPGs (measure in tenths or hundredths, that is).
