Dave, you'll have to contact him through his web site for him to see your offer.

I don't think he's getting notified of replies to these threads any more (see The Gadgetman Groove: Latest Fuel Economy BS Hits NPR )

It was more of a challenge/bet than an offer. I'm that certain that his claims are <bovine excrement> that I'm only willing to try it at no cost. If he wins, he's $50 richer, and I'm getting 10%+ better FE. If he loses, he's out the cost of the fuel I burned testing it. (If he pays.)
I'm not that enthusiastic about testing his mod because, like most of us here, I have absolutely NO reason to believe that it actually works.
And, for what it's worth, I have an Engineering degree.
BTW, my "offer" expires 12-31-2010.

sc2dave: I think you have to contact him through his web site. He's not following these threads any more. Google him if you really want to.
