Someone in one of the earlier posts made the comment about this thread being a bit if a "social" experiment also. The only observation I have in that regard is that sometimes we see a mod done at it gives a .5 mpg increase. If it's a mod we as individuals have contemplated we say "good job". But if it's one that we have dismissed, it goes one of two ways. Either, "Hmm I never thought about it like that. I'll have look into it some more." Or "Unicorn !!!!" Never in between. One camp waits to see what proof is offered. The other demands proof that it works, but rarely offers proof that it doesn't.

In the big picture, every mod doesn't work for every vehicle. Just because you (or I) didn't see any gains doesn't mean it doesn't work for someone else. Unless it's been show to already be Unicorn worthy (perpetual motion, free energy, etc), please try and keep an open mind and the "snake oil" comments to yourselves.
