A local news station did a test on those, put them on 3 cars. Not one of the cars got any better gas mileage, one actually was worse. Too good to be true.

Ssssssnake oil. With $3 a gallon fuel, one would think that these would be standard equipment on all cars IF they worked. All of these fuel saving devices are baloney.

Oth, my wife found that by slowing down 5-10 mph, setting the cruise control, and just getting there five minutes later has boosted her fuel mileage over 2 mpg. That is measured, not estimated. That style of driving does save gas - it's just to sedate for me though.

Just my opinion.
