Another Solution to High Fuel Prices....

brought to you once again by the same snake oil salesmen that gave you the Tornado air-swirler-thingy.

http://www.saveyourgasmoney.com/Default.asp

Yeah, they're saving THEIR gas money - courtesy of all the morons that will be stupid enough to buy one of these things.

The supposed explanation of how this thing works had me ROTFLMAO - converts nitrogen in the air into "nitro gas" (maybe it's the "Fifth Element"?), which "helps combust unburned hydrocarbons in the air intake manifold".

Well, I sure as hell hope there aren't any "unburned hydrocarbons" (ie, gas or diesel) in my intake manifold - BECAUSE IT'S THE FRIGGIN AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD!!!!!

The disciples of PT Barnum live on.

Self sufficient? Gasoline would actually overflow the tank!

"Run at a leaner air to fuel mixture increasing power and gas mileage."

What.

If only I knew it were that simple...

"Nitrogen converts into Nitro gas"
If they went with an HHO setup at least thats a little more believable. If Nitrogen was so easy to combust, wouldn't we all be sitting in an atmosphere of fire? Also sounds like a great way to mess up your AFR.

Moneys short, times are hard. Some will stop at nothing to relieve you of your hard earned $$$$.
For a while snakes were becoming an endangered species.
They come out of the woodwork when it warms up & they are hungry.
