I think that's a great marketing scheme! I DID put some Dura Lube in my wife's Jeep at the last oil change. It's a '95 Grand Cherokee 4x4 with 4.0 and auto. It went from 16 to 17.2 mpg city. That's for about the last 500 miles. So nI believe that stuff actually MUST work. I've also been tempted to try a Fitch fuel catalyst.

I put a tornado in my truck one day.When I drove by cows they started flying and I found a piece of straw through my hood,power line poles were snapping and a roofs flew off houses.When I saw the wicked witch of the west riding her bicycle with Toto in a basket I went right home.Awhile later there was a doplar radar truck out front and a bunch of nerds wondering around my yard.I took it out that night.Never even got a chance to check the mileage.

The way I figure it, if it worked, the manufacture would put one on oem. The way the goverment is hollering about fuel milage with new vehicles. Wouldn't they put one on?

After you buy one of these, head on over to Brooklyn. I got a bridge there for sale...you might want to check it out!

consumer reports put this one to rest a decade ago.

Yes it works. I run my tornado upside down and it actually produces gas.

I installed one in my Volt. Not only did it improve my gas mileage, but it made me more attractive to the women!
