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.
