It's another scammer selling a 50 cent resistor like you could buy at radio shack. Sends a modified signal to the computer or some BS like that. The amazing thing is all the people that claimed it works and left great feedback. Like they say, there is one born every minute.

looks like the SnakeOil Saleman has been run outta town (listing has been pulled fromeBay).

that "15+mpg", was that on top of what we get, or just getting 15mpg? 'cause my trucks down to 12 right now, so even getting 15 is an improvement. to bad i wasn't able to get the listing before they removed it-it could've been worth it, BWAHAHAHAHA!

Wow... that was fast. I looked at it earlier and it was there. I checked his seller name again and surprise, surprise... he is no longer a registered user. Looks like he sold for a month or so before disappearing into the night.
Out of just over 300 sales, only 18 people bitched about what they got for their money. Unbelievable.

Yo i bought three of those and suggested them for our fleet vehicles. i got an 18mpg gain but only 31 hp and 26 fp torque. not what was claimed, but hey, with +18 mpg it was worth it!

Also there is a nigerian prince that wants to give me his $$$ all I have to do is....
