If I had made the site, I would have at least included some animated gifs or some flash... I take that back. I now see there is a bit of flash on the site. Well, I suppose you have to give the kid credit. For a fraud, he's (I couldn't find his name with a short search) constructed a professional looking site. If he can get some exposure, lots of stupid people will send him money. The idea is pretty lame, though. Phony MPG enhancers are as old as gasoline. You would think he could come up with something original. OR, perhaps promote something with genuine value. There really are some things that DO improve fuel economy: Tire pressure sensors, reminders of various conditions, weight reducers, GPS systems that locate cheap gas, and I could go on.

As an electrical designer, let me assure you that if their is a need for for stable power to the control system, it would have already been built into the module in the form of active transistor voltage regulators, not some cheap passive low pass filter. I call cow doo doo on this one. |
