Re: More Mileage for Hummers?
Paragon and Klaus:
I'm interested in your thoughts concerning this. Thanks!

Re: More Mileage for Hummers?
is this similar to the turbonator? Seems like it. I guess if they are willing to refund your money back if doesn't work, well, i say go for it. But that refund has to be 100% for me... though, it really isn't a whole lot of cash really.... im sure you can sell it!!  |

Re: More Mileage for Hummers?
I've never seen a nationally recognized testing lab post positive results from any of these devices. I haven't seen these, but I suspect they only lighten your wallet.
Consumer Reports did some testing on the usual suspects in June:

Less weight = more MPG. That is how it works, then! 
Seriously though, I wouldn't mind trying one. Mythbusters did a show on things to increase fuel economy, but unfortunately, these types of devices were not tested.
I wouldn't mind trying them with the money-back guarantee, though if they twiddle their thumbs and take their time getting the money back to the purchaser, that sucks.
I've heard a lot of negative things about similar products in the past, but I'd like to see for myself. |

Re: More Mileage for Hummers?
110% money back, if not completely satisfied
looks like one of the tornado things to me

Re: More Mileage for Hummers?
Well I ordered one and will do a semi-scientific test on it and post the results. It probably won't work so I'm looking forward to the 110% refund.  |

Re: More Mileage for Hummers?
If you put 2 of them together does it work twice as effectively?  |
