I'd believe it if it was sponsored by the Unsers :goof

but seriously....getting the 96oz package compared to the others isn't even a savings. :confused

i don't think i would try it in my SUV if it was FREE....maybe the WIFES cars i'd try it in...she wants something new anyways....so if the crap screws the motor up or the injectors....oh well...trade it in....

Junk. CAN'T work the way that it advertises...it's so funny, it's bad. Put it this way...if this worked as claimed, it'd also make an automobile substantially more powerful at the same time...for which a test at the drag strip could easily prove or disprove. If it was as effective as they say, of course, people WOULD be using it at the track with substantial benefits.

Anything that promises more POWER, better MILEAGE, reduced EMISSIONS, longer ENGINE LIFE, and to enhance YOUR SEX LIFE...just won't work. Loved the F.O.X (not fox) news report, and the NBC one I could watch for myself as proof that it works (which was some podunk little nbc affiliate). What garbage. Anyone of my friends that mails that to me is in for a beat-down. :mad:

The sad thing about these products is that they put so much into advertising. I've had to convince both my mother and grandmother that these things are not properly tested and will most likely not work.

[lasttimearound]

whats with the fitch fuel thing? its expensive(ish) and doesnt really seem to be a logical way to improve fuel economy. do people think that if it costs more it will work?

[Rocket Power]

The only way this kinda crap will increase mileage is if the person really wants to believe it and they change the way they drive, trying to make it come true

Rocket Power basically said it all. Most of these gas saving scams promise increases of about 20% which typically amounts to the same amount by which *anyone* can improve their fuel milage by doing simple gas saving stuff like accelerating gently, following the speed limit, and keeping tires properly inflated. I generally get upwards of 27mpg combined in my GTP. The GTP is rated for 18/28 and I can usually get it into the 30s on the highway. So, the claims of this stuff are (no surprise) within the range of increase that is attainable by any individual with virtually any car that simply drives "smart". Everytime I have looked at one of these products, they always have instructions that specify that you should *also* do the things I just mentioned. So basically you're paying $60 for a sheet of paper that tells you to be more consciencious of your driving habits.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

when i sold cars i had a guy tell me to make sure to tell my manager before he took his car out for an appraisal: "make sure he knows that i have a K&N filter with the tornado charger".

i almost shatt myself i was trying to hold in the laughter.

[ND4SPD]

Wow that must have added a whole $.13 to the appraisal.:banana1:

DOES not work, was tested on a dyno right in front of my eyes and damn near blew the motor for fuel starvation....
