Default increase hp / mpg

i came across this product online and it says on average it increases hp by 20 and gase mileage by 24%, now for 20$ i would think everyone should need this. has anyone else gotten one of these or thinking about gettin one too? im really thinking about buying it cause just the save for gas alone would be worth the 20$

here it is check it out tell me what you guys think

Neither one will work as advertised. If they did, we all would have them.

They're lying in an attempt to get you to buy their product.

Those products fall into the category of wallet lighteners which leads to a sense of euphoria and will give your butt dyno huge gains

That is how they make their money. They advertise to a demographic of people who don't know alot about cars. At $20, the product is just cheap enough for people like you to buy it hoping that it works in some way.

you guys need to watch mythbusters...they did all of those gay "mpg saving device's"...anyway they don't work. at all. period. its so ridiculous and if you did get more mpg it was like .2 over a 5 mile trip which is well within statistical boundries...i mean hitting the stop lights a certain way will cause that...

and like another poster said...if this crap worked it would be on every car already from the manufacture...don't you think they'd like to advertise more mpg than their competitors?....stop being so naive
