Again as with all of these. How about a lab test? Take a quantity of 8 stroke gas engines, hook up the gizmo on 4, 100gal of gas per engine and run it.

You guys don't believe anything. I didn't either until I tried some of these things. I bought all the devices that claimed to improve mileage and put them all on at the same time. Well, it really made my life a mess. On a long road trip, I had to stop every 500 miles and empty my fuel tank. Ever tried to get rid of 20 gal of gas on the side of the road. I will never learn.

Amen!

The tire gauge and running at proper tire inflation is proven effective for returns in fuel consumption, for any kind of engine. And air is FREE! At least where I live you don't have to pay for compressor at filling stations.

The US ranks way down on science education, I don't recall the exact placement, but it's nothing to brag about. This is one of the results. Once (if) the patent is granted, we'll be able to see how this is supposed to work. I won't be holding my breath.

Why test it?

Why test it on 8 gas engines? The video already says they tested it on a car, then bought it for 5 more, for a total of 6. And the lawn guy, with his diesel trucks, have it in 10 of his, and is saving fuel. And those are just the few local ones, in Paulding county; I'm sure you could read more about/from people who bought this.

Why, after 16 vehicles, do you want to test it on ...8 more.... gas engines?

Hey, watch what you say about that hydrogen stuff. We have at least on young bucko here on the forum who says he is making great strides in developing his system. Yes, he also gets fuel out of water, says it works great. Well, he has kind of disappeared for now, but he will be back.

You have to provide energy (from alternator, burn fuel) to hydrolyze water to generate hydrogen. In the end in this case it is a zero sum game minus inefficiency waste. So this is a loosing proposition.

You can fool me but you cannot fool nature.

Kroger has a good deal. We saved $.90 the other day as we shop quite a bit at Kroger. I'm sure they have higher prices on certain items, but they are by far the closest place to us...and they have a fuel station on campus. With 10 children (#11 on the way hehe) our grocery bill is higher than most

So to clarify, the more we shop, the more we save at their pump.

We need some extra smileys on here.

For now the most appropriate ones for this contraption are;

What does your admission of having 10 kids have to do with this thread?

It was "invented" by a chiropractor?!

The "fuel misting" is crap because it still goes through the fuel injection system anyhow.

It's merely an expensive tube.

To be 11, a soccer team. What a brave soul.

Gas saver never works. If it does, it would have been snapped up by the car manufacturers already. The logical reason for it to work with the Texas police dept is that it limited the speed to 56mph.
