Default Another gas saver?

A new product on ebay now. It connects to the OBDII port, strange enough. Any comment on what it is actually doing on the truck?

Absolutely nothing. Total waste of money.
If you wanna save gas, keep all your maintenance up to date and make sure you have good spark plugs.

IF it works at all, it probably limits fuel delivery somehow, so even if you got "better" gas mileage, you'll probably lose a ton of power and get worse gas mileage because you'll be stomping on the gas pedal to get the truck moving forward.

That being said I'm going to buy a couple, and I'd like to grab that ocean front AZ property before anyone snatches it all up

Agreed. Put this on the shelf with snake oil, shoe magnets, and a jar of pixie dust.

I agree that this item is a scam, but how does this seller have 995 items sold with 99.5% Positive feedback? Fake feedback some how?

Looks like everyone was happy with the shipping....that's a good disguise for a product that doesn't work. It's the Fast Shipping that gets the good feedback, not the produce. But by the time they install it and realize it does nothing, it's too late.

Technically the only thing that matters for feedback is that the item arrived in a timely fashion, was as described, and undamaged.
