LOL A buddy has a Nissan Titan and was looking for stuff for it. He came across this. This guy's ads run anywhere from 35 hp/ 5 mpg to this one. He has a disclaimer, but still.......this is hilarious!

I see the same things for the New Challengers. Hard to believe something so cheap can do so much better than the stupid factory could do.

Haha. I hear what a lot of those cheap chips do is actually just make the computer think you are giving it more throttle than you actually are or richen the mixture.

Myth Busters did a segment where they tried to debunk a bunch of those "so called" mileage enhancing snake oil gimmicks. A lot them proved to actually LESSEN the gas mileage of the vehicles. I don't think any of them proved to actually help the MPG's!! The one with the hydrogen rig that used electrolysis to produce hydrogen did make hydrogen, but not even enough to power an RC car!! So those yo-yo's got a gas cylinder of pure hydrogen and almost blew the car up!! I love that show!!
