My reply:
Sorry, I work with engineers and scientists on proven "viable" options for saving fuel.
This is a "snake oil" scam. Like magnets or the "tornado" they have a negligible impact on fuel efficiency that is typically driven buy the user knowing they have the “snake oil device” installed on there vehicle. It is a placebo effect….Because the new user thinks they have a “fuel saver device” installed they drive more efficiently. The average user can save increase fuel efficiency 20-30% simply by driving more efficiently (DAHHH).

After awhile, the person forgets they have the “snake oil device” and their fuel efficiency returns to normal.

Examples:
•     Set cruise at 55-60 constant.
•     Don’t tailgate.
•     Coast 300 yards to each stop (huge savings)
•     Keep car tuned & tires filled (alignment helps)
•     When possible accelerate smooth and constant with RPMS never exceeding 1500-2000.

I do have FREE and recommended items that REALLY increase MPG 5-10 points that are proven and in use on “real world” cars and trucks.

I also submit my findings to outside expert scientists for testing too assure quality and NON-bia results.

If claims and test results are not verified by an outside expert source… one should only presume it is a “snake oil device”.

My personal thought is that this comment was posted by the same person making the claims on the “snake oil device”. At website http://kbgk.com/
emissioncontrol@kbgk.com

PLEASE let me know if I am wrong or inaccurate in any statements I have made.
I would be more than happy to challenge the owners of this device to submit it to our panel of scientists at the “alternative fuel research board” for a real trial. If it TRULY does work, NO company would refuse a viability study.

Email me if you want the list of 20 things you can do to make any vehicle increase fuel efficiency 4-10 mpg (consistently). NO SMOKE, NO MIRRORS – Just legitimate ways to save a little here and there.

Thanks sooo much for replying to my posts.

Message to first time readers:

Optimism and an open mind are the most radical political acts there are.
We have thousands of energy options that can save our economy and planet without sacrificing our resources or lifestyles.

The general public only hears of the few options that line the pockets of the few that result in the suffering of the many.

The public information on this website makes it easy for anyone to clearly understand how viable and abundant our future can really be.
