Is anyone besides me getting a 70's vibe?

I get the feeling that Mr. Wiseman found some simple methods to improve the absolutely abysmal performance of 1970's and early 80's carbureted engines, and has been trying to ride those successes to fame and fortune ever since.

A piece of hose here and a tee fitting there might have improved mileage on those cars (almost certainly with a concurrent rise in emissions), but technology marched on, and Mr. Wiseman found himself with a rapidly shrinking target market. Perhaps that's when the PVC pipes that promise to double mileage, and the conspiracy theories about car companies and oil companies being in cahoots to snooker the planet for their profit, took hold.
