There was a Circus Ringmaster who is famously quoted "There is a sucker born every minute".
"A fool and his money are soon parted".
Take a minute and think through the proposition. In today's current environmental and economic climate, do you think that if any of these "snake-oil" products really worked at all, never mind as advertised, do you think that the car manufacturers world-wide wouldn't beat a path to the patent office and install them on their own cars?
Better mileage (think CAFE standards)
Better performance (think customer satisfaction)
Save your money and your reputation. The car manufacturers have a lot more money for R & D than you have.
Happy motoring

Think of it this way,how many people do you know talk about how cool their cell phone is, how fast their computer surfs and how clear their plasma tv is. Do you here anybody raving or even talking about these so-called automotive wonder products? If nobody else is talking about it then most likely nobody is buying it.

I think you need to watch an episode of Mythbusters. I think they did one where they bought and used several mpg "boosters". In effect, they simply don't work...
