Kinda like the old adage.. If it 'sounds' to good to be true it probably is....
Plus, if a device that simple would yield significant MPG gains, you can be sure that it would be standard equipment on the new vehicles, even more so with the rising cost of fuel and the push to become the MPG leader..
Years and years ago,,,,, A freind and I were at a local car show and they had a vendor there that was selling 'inline' spark/coil wire voltage enhancers.. Was supposed to double the voltage or some bull story of that high of improvement (they were 15.00!) and was a simple plug on part that sat on top of the cap, was about the size of a golf ball maybe slightly bigger that was supposed to offer up a cleaner more efficient ignition/burn.. They had an engine and dyno there and would run the engine at cruise speeds and yank a wire or two so you could see the power/torque/RPM fall off.. Then they'd plug their little 'magical device' in, and even with the wire/s still dangling, or pulled again, the readings were almost as good as running on all eight cylinders as before the demo.. They had a valve cover pulled and sprayed water at this thing and even loaded'r up with sand!! to show just how affective their little wonder device was..Coudn't be stopped....
We watched this guy for a good long while, not because we were so amazed what a great product they offered up, but how they were fool'n the crowd and what they had done to the dyno for switches or ? so that it looked good from our view.. Never saw his hands leave our sight, not sure about the feet, and wasn't orchestrated since the crowd was involded and gave him prompts in disbelief... And they sold plenty!
So we ponied up our 7.50 each and bought one.. Suckers!! This thing had cooling fins radiating around the outter diameter since 'no doubt' was a high output part and would 'certainly' melt the high quality plastic case.. Gave it some size too.. Go it home and gave'r a wack with a hammer to see the sophisticated harware inside that would answer all our questions, and what could possibly snap a dieing V8 running on 6 or less cylinders into performing like new..
Inside were 2 pennies..... Was a good show..........Not worth 15.00 though ...
