Now that I see the results for myself, it really doesn't give me a good feeling about what the car companies' priorities are (this device would be so easy to incorporate in an engine). I guess it's the consumer's fault too. We've never really clamored for more mileage efficiency. It actually decreased from 1988 (26 mpg) to 1999 (24.5 mpg).
