Default 50% more mpg?

A friend e-mailed this to me today and I was wondering if the mechanical geniuses on the site know anything about this. They are claiming 50% minimum mpg increase. It’s probably too good to be true because I didn’t see a price listed. There are a couple of videos on the site that are quite long but interesting.

Who knows, but I'm sure if you have to purchase that entire system it will make up for the amount you're saving on gas.

Please Read---> I am not a mechanic and could very well be 100% wrong but that is my view.

carry on.

Ok, the company that really is pushing this is called United Community Services of America and is run by Dennis Lee. This is the same company and man that has been supposedly pushing "miracle" energy making machines and such all over the Western Seaboard. I will not go into anything they pushed such as something I read somewhere about a device that will allow your car to run on pickle juice because I will not be sued for defamatory comments or whatever. But I have read elsewhere that people "know" he is a snake oil doctor.

Think about it.... if it could be done wouldn't that hit the news like a bat out of hell? If it were true that we could all get %50 better economy. That would revolutionize the USA! And thats what they tell you! Don't listen to the "Its all an oil conspiracy" . Ok I'm off the soapbox sorry.

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is!

Oh hey, one more point. Remember that little spinny thing you stick into your intake hose to make a "Vortex" of air that boosts your power and fuel economy by "Tremendous" amounts? Yeah. Does it work, well sort of. The principal is there that if you created a spinning air column it would move quicker through passages and around corners, but can that little piece of metal you stick in you intake do that? Not nearly enough to make a real difference.

There is a BIG difference between the theory and science of a product and its practical application! Anyone can make something sound great. Hell I have a pet you don't have to feed, walk, take to the doctor.... its called a pet rock. And how many people bought them!?!?!

If it were true, why aren't auto manufacturers eating it all up???? Get the point?
