Forty or so years ago they were selling pills that you dropped in the gas tank that were supposed to give better mileage. This sounds like just the latest version of the scam. Pretty pricey, though.

As we have said in the past. If these worked GM would be using them.

Weren't those "pills" actually mothballs? I seem to remember something about adding them to the gas back in the 60s.

I have this chip, its nothing special.
It tell's the computer the car is running cooler than it really is, which in return gives more fuel.
I have noticed a little more pep in the car, but only like 1 more mpg.

We use to add one bottle of rubbing alcohol to each fill-up, seemed to get better mpg on the hywy, and better pick-up.
Keeps the intake and valves clean too.

Those things are junk, they're just resistors. If you decide you want to get a real tune, we sell Trifecta tunes cheap.
