yo,
This stuff should be re-named gemmeyoMoneyfOO!..lol
I keep tires inflated to spec, reduce weight of cargo (exc. for fire ext, off road recovery stuff, etc.) filter/fluid over-maintenance, and general driving habits (kant speed here due to safety concerns, w/state police barracks a mile away or road conditions anyway).
My advice is to spend your hard-earned $ on maintenance & a good tire press. gauge; and weekly tire press. checks.

LOL!!!
Just caught me funny...
But no - they do not work. It's just another one of the many products people come up with and sell because their ideas about the product sound plausible. Kind of like the Tornado intake that is supposed to increase airflow by swirling the air - :-X23

couleeman -
I was in no way poking at you either. When I read AIM's reply, it just caught me in one of those pissy moods, and made me laugh. Some of the products you see out just do not measure up in reality, no matter how good they sound. That item is one of them.
Reminds me of something I would see on EBay or in JC Whitney...

No problem, you saved me about $100. I am just trying to get better gas mileage so that I don't have to resort to driving my wifes Chebby. I figure that if I can get 15mph or better with my truck, that there is no way I will drive her car.

yo,
wow, $100.00! I thought it was a cheapie.
For $100.00 how about a free flowing muffler?
We try for 15mpg in our 96 bronco, but only get in on longer drives with the wind; esp in the Spring. Last tankful was 14 mpg.
But it beats the 350 nova we had that couldn't break 12-13 mpg.

Better gas mileage can be had with good, narrow, radial tires, inflated to a high psi with a good front end alignment.
If any of these gizomos had any base in reality and testing, every OEM would be using them to improve their CAFE scores, even if they had to fork over $1,000,000 in royalties to do it.
