So aside from driving around a 20mpg Isuzu NPR with a shed on the back, selling lard-based motor oil for what can only be at least $10/qt, and installing worthless capacitors inline with your spark plugs, what else can they do?

Do they install UltraGauges, educate people on driving style, add grille blocks and inflate tires to sidewall max? Smooth coroplast underbody paneling? Smooth wheel covers and fender skirts? Teaching people about the importance of removing unneeded mass from the car? Getting people to care about fuel economy while selecting a vehicle?

No? None of these things? My goofy-looking two seater with the EcoModder sticker on it does way more good than these poseurs will ever do, as does anyone here who gets friends and coworkers to care about fuel economy.

LaSorda, go back to selling Liberties and Durangoes. I hope your company goes under.

Green washing at it's finest.

I also like their claims on fuel economy improvement for these procedures.

10% Improvement in fuel economy from pulstar plugs?

Looks like they through their snake oil shed on their truck and painted it green.

They must mean "green" as in "money".

I wonder if they get any repeat customers...

Sure they do. MPG is so subjective and full of fluctuations, people who spend hundreds of dollars on snake oil will only see the favorable blips in their fuel logs.

^Yup. Just like the guys that swear up and down that K&Ns do anything beneficial.

They do have some eco-driving tips:

I have a set of the pulstar plugs if anyone would like to buy them, they don't work well in any of the civics I've owned, mileage dropped and the engine ran rough.
I don't think any of the other things they are offering do harm and it sounds like they have good customer service, but they are making some pretty big claims.
