We've had people ask about those before, and we always tell them the same thing... rip off. Disco's dont go fast and never will.

Well, 40mpg doesn't sound right, but I do believe that this chip could lower your horsepower down to 130.

There is a guy over on another forum with a magnet on his gas line and a tornado in his air line. He said he figures the magnet would energize the gas particles and make them burn more efficiently. The chemistry teacher and engineer in me shudders.

Modern diesels like the Dodge Cummins or Ford Powerstroke are possible to get that much power out of with a computer chip. A Land Rover engine isn't going to do that. And 40mpg out of a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick, yeah right. Maybe with the engine off and another vehicle pushing it.

If I could get 40 miles out of a full tank of gas I would be happy!
