This can't be true. I don't see how snapping what looks like two pieces of orange plastic over your fuel line can do what it claims.

If that's what it took to improve fuel mileage, then all the manufacturers would be using it to increase their CAFE fuel economy ratings. The mass buying power of the car companies would make the costs negligible. Plus, it would be far easier and less expensive than all the research and developement costs for computer controls, fuel injection systems, etc.

Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
One of the things that bothers me, is there is no "How's it work" section on their site.

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:

The instructions probably say, in addition to attaching this device, to drive no faster than 55mph and don’t open the 4-barrel.
It’s like the Subway commercials don’t tell you that Jarad walks several miles per day to get those amazing weight killing subs.

Maybe we should purchase one and run an "Independent C3VResearch Laboratory" test? Who knows - what if spending $90 did make a difference? 

You guys are FUNNY, I hope you are saying all this in fun. Have you every heard the ole addage about if it sounds to good to be true it IS. Next, who in any corvette group are you going to find to drive 55 or below, that in its self is the best...
I'm sure if I wanted to increase the fuel milage in my 69 all I would have to do is drive it like most people drive there GEO's, then I would probally get maybe 15 MPG, but I don't think I'll opt for either one of these solutions.........Got any other ideas guys?

Not to mentiont that the money back guarantee is only within 30 days from date of purchase AND they say you have to drive 1500 miles before you get an accurate reading (which I'm sure they're going to pull on you if you try to return it!)
For me, I have a "weekend only" car so getting in the 1500 isn't going to be very easy for me!

Eric, or anyone else, I'll be the lab rat, I just need someone to loan me their car!
LOL I can put 1500 miles on it easily in 30 days(Unless I go to class, but who wants to do that!)
