Eddy! :D
Well, watch this little video. Seems a crook decided to sell a product with no evidence at all it works. Turns out, this news team ran a well run experiment to test these pills that are supposed to get you better gas mileage (through strange sciency sounding words that show that they know how to make up sciency sounding phrases and have no idea what actual sciency terms they state even mean). The experiment shows absolutly no evidence at all these pills do anything. Further, the pills were spectographed to detect a chemical the stench of them suggested was there. They are moth balls. And, old 1970's moth balls, the sort that were poisoness (though the bottle says they are non-toxic).
So basically, this is a warning. Be skeptical about ways to save your money before you end up just losing it!

Bottom line. The pill doesn't work and he's going to hell! :)
