Too good to be true? Gas-chip fuel saver
This gas-chip thing has really got me hooked onto what it does to the fuel in your gas tank. I remember hearing them test a '99 4runner 3.4L and getting 100 extra km's to the tank To good to be true?

For $150, to save you ~$2,200 at the gas pump over a 5 year period, I would rather walk.

anything that claims to give you better gas mileage I'd be VERY weary about. With how gas prices are climbing more and more, companies are finding it MUCH easier to take advantage of people because they'll do anything to get better mileage. Just my 2 cents.

Since turning up my 15" subwoofer back aft, I am not generating many more "resonant frequencies."

My gas mileage has increased 100 to the 1,000th power of infinity.

Be wery wery wary scared of anything claiming better gas mileage.

Yea, I was just learing about vibrating part feeders in my robotics class! It all makes sense! Time to upgrade my 10" to a pair fo 15" and my truck will scoot right along with no gas at all!
