If it had 0 effect on MPG but really did help emissions, I'd be willing to waste up to $50 on it. But it goes from $125 to $200, which is nuts for chrome + stuffing.

Sorry. I might have added to that thread if I had known of it. Should have searched first. But that thread started in June 2008 and closed Oct 28, 2008. The testing the manufacturer had done is dated Oct 7 2008. Here is
the full report. Clearly 12% FE gains are BOGUS given the report, but modest gains, on a 2004 Civic 3.7% "city" and 6.0% "hwy" are reported... and for other cars as well. A Lincoln actually lost urban FE. Take a look. But I have to agree... the pollution benefits alone would be worth a more modest price but not what they are asking. I have other projects ...
