| if it worked, then i have no doubt that car manufactures would be all over it. anything that would boost MPG's and get them ahead of the EPA regulations would be a plus to them and be a big selling point on the dealer lot. why do you think we don't use a carb anymore? do you think it was cheap for the manufactures to design and produce the MPI system or to design a flex fuel car? they made these improvements because of the government, not because they were trying to make money. this thing falls in the same area as the fuel ionizer you zip tie to your fuel line, the water to gas contraption that uses a mason jar and the tornado made from a pop can that you drop in to your air intake. it is just a gimick for the hypermilers that want to save money on gas. it will not work. |

| see i had no luck on the tornado.. it acually made my car run like ****. i tried it on my maxima and the jimmy both withthe same results.. no throttle responce whatso ever.. it is only good on certain setups from what i hear so now i have a 50 dollar paper weight in my room. as for the fitch fuel catilist. my buddy has one on his 07 3500 and it works great. he got 5 mpg better on average. he does alot of highway driving so perhaps that is why its s high but nowadays anythign is better then stock |

| I believe the BEST fuel savings are achieved by keeping your tires properly inflated, keeping your vehicle in tune with A/C Delco parts, and driving like your in absolutely no hurry.. |

| that water to gas contraption is actually kinda cool. if you fill up a 20oz bottle with it, you can launch it really far when a spark is introduced. it also makes a loud bang. |
