if it sounds too good to be true it probably is Just going by the 31% increase in mileage.

It will make some increases but will be so insignificant you prob wont be able to tell. They get away with it by saying you will get UP to 31% increase blah blah blah... You might see a 1-2% increase so when you only see .5-1 mpg increase they are still covered. I didn't read too far into it but somewhere it prob states that different people will see different results.

I wonder how many pop cans that tweaker (he who "invented" it) went through before he thought he had somethin' he could sell to the average numskull?

Thank you very much sir. It was a bit of an accident how that worked out, the pic (rectangular) had just the right shade o' black to match with no adjustment, just a resize.

Hey, yours is pretty good too. Kill da wabbit! (Not the Waskilly blue kind, of course)
