I would be alll over that if it really worked, considering it was 67 bucks to fill up today.... and that was at a military gas station, where it's usually around ten cents cheaper per gallon than what it is out in town. Granted, that's only $1.50 savings... but that FJ can chew up some gas!

Any time you want to end my husband's lengthy vacation in the sandbox so I can put him to good use around here would be just fine with me.

wow you're lucky, our military bases usually charge 4 to 15 cents MORE than the regular fuel stations in town. How F'd up is that? We get paid less to do more and still cant catch a break at our exchange which is supposed to save us money and compensate for the high cost of living. Sorry, rant over.

I would like to see an independant lab dyno test a motor with this gadget. This way, you eliminate any driver input that can skew the results
For example, say before the gadget the driver had a real lead foot and always gunned it, so it got 10 mpg. With the magic fuel saving gadget under the hood, the driver suddenly is very self conscience of fuel economy, and babies the vehicle
If I drive my FJ at a steady 80 km/h on level terrain, I easily average 32 mpg, Imperial gallon. If I speed up to 90 km/h, my average drops to 29 mpg. If I speed up to 110 km/h, my average drops to 24 mpg. At 120 km/h, my average is 20 mpg
If these gadgets really worked, you'd see GM and the rest put them under the hood of every pickup and suv they have. Companies like GM are drowning in red ink, if they could increase fuel economy that much on their full size trucks with a simple gadget, they would

You missed the word usually. LOL
And keep in mind, it's fairly lousy gas.
Those exchanges are a joke though. You are saving NOTHING versus a decent sale out in town. Not a time. Even the commisaries are getting on par with the civillian grocers, and they aren't supposed to turn a profit.
