i'm not even going to click on those...know why? cause they don't work. best way to save gas is make sure your car is tuned up properly and then do like spec said, lift your right foot and drive easier

Hee, hee, I like the "fine print" they use too...
Get UP TO a 20% increase* in MPG's, HP, and Torque!!!
* weather conditions, driving habits and other engine add-ons (K&N filter, better spark plugs,
higher flowing exhaust, etc) will play a factor in this percentage.

Will play a factor? Those are the factors, not some hocus-pocus bogus "chip"!

Driving habits...oh look, that one will do it right there!

Chips are bogus for our cars, don't waste your money.

The only real gas saving devices out there are based on Browns Gas. For our cars the setup would cost big bucks due to the computer system. There are even some scams out there for the Browns gas but if you do not reprogram you PCM its a waste of time.


Consumers Reports has done a ton of testing, There has been no device found to improve gas mileage.

I had a friend that sold a fuel additive on the side. It guarantied 20% improvement in fuel mileage. The catch was you had to buy it by the case. He was so sure of the product he spotted me a bottle. Since I drive 200 Miles a day and track mileage every tank he was sure I would be a life long customer. A bottle lasted 6 tank fills. I saw no change in fuel mileage. I even graphed out 3 months on a spread sheet and you could not tell any differents in the three week I used the additive. He was stuck with 3 case of stuff he knew was a scam. Sucked to be him cause they where not cheap.
