MPG increaser ??

a freind sent me the link I checked it out and it looks promising. I thought I would share it with you all.
basically they are running fuel throught a modified cat first turning it to plasma and then burning it in the engine and you can buy it of course .

How about you do us a favour. You go and buy the gadget, install it on your truck, and let us know how it goes. If it works then you can do a write up on it.

Your friend is a sucker. This is nothing more than SPAM. Want better fuel economy? BUY A SMALLER CAR!

Unless that kit includes a donkey to pull your rig, it's NOT going to increase your MPG.

My runner coasts on plasma all the time. I say do it.

kind of believeable, except that its a CAT. a cat is on the exhaust, and theres no way for it to send stuff back to the engine BEFORE the fuel was burned. lol. interesting though i wonder how much they want for it? i may rob someone of their lunch money to get one and see how it works lol.

when it says will increase your mileage by up to 100% that also means it can be 0 increase and completley legal.

Maybe you could fly a large kite out of the sunroof for that little extra push.

The scam should start off something like this, "What the big oil companies don't want you to know".

If it were the real deal, don't you think car manufactures would already be using this technology.

Reading that makes me think of politicians and infommercials for some reason. Maybe it's because they are full of **** too.

Save your money and use it to buy more gas...

I had to listen to my father in law go on and on about this during dinner last night.

i didn't have the heart to say:
"what are you joking"
or "were you born yesterday or something"
or "did you just fall off the turnip truck"

100% gas mileage increase??????

Come on, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.
