    More Improved Gas Mileage Hype

     



    This is just plain unbelievable, even with the money-back guarantee.

    I guess if it were that easy, even the engineers at GM would figure it out and have it installed at the factory......

    Yeh, I believe it, just like back in the late 70's in the northwest when someone claimed you could duct tape cow magnets to your fuel line to increase your MPG. The only thing that did was create a shortage on magnets and piss off the ranchers cause they couldn't get any magnets for their cattle.

    They give them to the cattle so when they're out grazing on the open range and they happen to ingest any metal such as old barb wire pieces or nails from old fences, the magnets will hold it in their stomachs and keep from tearing up their insides.

    Whenever I find a gas saver gadget, I buy it and put it on my Geo. Belive it or not, it is getting soo efficient now that I actually suck the gas from other poorly tuned cars that drive by me
