I think a lot of HP mods are just adding the "saves gas!" claim to all their stuff these days.

Having been around the car modifications business for more years than I care to admit to I have seen more than a few items come back again relabeled to claim greater fuel efficiency.

"Shrouded" spark plugs are one example.

Previously they were touted to boost power (1960's) or reduce pollution (1970's) and from time to time they claimed both !

The packaging and marketing slogans have changed but little else has...apart from the warning dating back to the days of the Roman chariots racing around the Collusseum in Rome : Caveat Emptor = Buyer beware !

Cheers , Pete.
