It is not our responsibility to prove that your product works. That's your job.

Because you're selling something, you'll be held to a higher standard here than the average tinkerer/enthusiast talking about his latest mod.

For that reason, and because of the fantastic claims about the product, credible 3rd party testing is all I would accept.

EG: the "EPA Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Evaluation Program" is an "EPA-approved" test methodology designed specifically for evaluating devices that claim to save fuel or reduce emissions.

(EDIT: and to be quite honest, that EPA test is still somewhat flawed, since it only recommends an A-B test, where most people here see the advantage of an A-B-A approach.)
