Good post!

Fuel economy is the most poorly understood (by the general public) parameters of auto preformance.

Thanks to high-priced gas we are seeing old charletans coming out of the woodwork hawking "solutions" that never worked before and counting on the public's short attention span.

As we know, there is little new in the world of engineering. Stuff works or doesn't work for fundamental engineering reasons.
