The FE gains claimed carry a whiff of unicorns, but because they claim they used an independent testing agency approved by EPA and CARB, I paused: the testing by a California lab apparently showed a 12% FE gain, "no back-pressure," and significant pollution reduction. What do you think? Worth an ABA test?
What Is BLADE?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
