Sounds weird to me also. I've seen some of these things before, most are nothing more than a resistor. Dont know what this is though, prob the same kind of deal.

5-10mpg extra, yeah right

Yeah, check his feedback. Many people said it was just a resistor. Some people will fall for anything.

quote from the link:
Back in 1999 the founder of our company was about to purchase a performance chip for his 2001 Ford Expedition. This particular performance chip costs over $500. He purchased the performance chip and was satisfied with the results. However, as the founder of the company being the electrical engineer that he was, he wondered, how does that performance chip actually work? So for 2 years we had a team of researchers and scientists develop a performance module for a fraction of the cost!
So this genius announces on the internet that he basically "Reverse-Engineered" someone else's product and now has his "Clone" for sale........

Whatta moron.....

looks like he's a feedback bully as well. If you left him positive, you got positive, if you left neutral, you got nothing and if you left a neg he left you a neg too, purely in retaliation. I have done a lot of business on ebay and I HATE feedback bullies and blackmailers.

What a scum and yet people still line up to buy his fake product, and are even willing to pay him $7.00 for his stamp and envelope.
