Thanks. I was wondering if anyone had an experience
with it that they could back up with calculated MPG
numbers. Kinda curious about it. I'm almost to the
point where I believe the internal combustion engine
has been tweaked as much as it can be,and nothing can
be done to the fuel to help mileage. Pump your tires
up to 100 psi! Now THAT helps! :)

Thanks!
