Impossible to believe. It only claims a 31% increase, not a 70% increase

I also appreciate their honesty. How it will destroy your car. Their claim that it WILL outlast your car. How better to guarantee this than by blowing up the engine.

The best mods to increase your mpg...

Beyond adjusting your driving habits, you can buy tires that have low rolling resistance. But in doing so you will sacrafice grip and ride quality. Usually narrower tires and those of a harder rubber will increase your gas mileage along with higer psi's. And probably switiching to synthetic lube in engine, tranny, and rear diff will help as well. People will say that reducing unsprung weight will also help (such as lighter flywheel, lighter tires and rim combo, custom carbonfiber driveshaft, etc.) And these may help only slightly. But probably not worth the expense. I would say the number one thing you can do is replace your tires with those of a low rolling resistance. But that is a big sacrafice. This is why many hondas have great gas mileage.

This is the best mod by far.

It installs under your gas pedal. Pay close attention to the installation instructions and make sure that you install it UNDER the gas pedal.

Here it is.........The best gas saver ever.

Some people recommend placing an egg (uncooked) behind the pedal, that is, thinking there is one there to drive more gently.
