In tests of many similar devices for automobiles conducted by the EPA, none has ever shown one iota of benefit when carefully tested. Additionally, the underlying theory of these devices is not supported by scientific evidence.

The results of EPA's testing of fuel saving devices may be found at: http://www.epa.gov/orcdizux/consumer/reports.htm ........
