By using the word "up to" you can claim anything even though it is a sham. If you get an increase of 0.0000001% MPG then it is still legit wording and chances are they'll never refund your money lol.

The resistor sparked my curiosity so I looked online and some people say they have gotten somewhat good results with them- Then again people also those tornado things that are supposed to create a "syphon" of air work too- I remember reading a study that showed they made mpg and power worse by 7% in popular science. But people still swear by them.

Time.


And maybe, some self respect when the buyer realizes how completely STUPID he was to fall for it?


Well, probably not. People who buy claims like that are so stupid they don't know how stupid they are.
