Here is a quote from their page: Decreases fuel consumption up to 8 percent — fuel savings exceed cost of additive

So, if you get no gain and spend money in that snake oil, it is still valid because it gives UP TO 8%. Now if the site said "Decreases fuel consumption BY 8 percent — fuel savings exceed cost of additive", I'll accept that it is true.
