I can almost believe the fuel economy claim -- with less air flow,
there'd be less fuel flow (and power), right? Then again, I could go
unplug a fuel injector or two (remember the Cadillac 4-6-8?) for no cost
if I wanted less power.
Of course, I don't care about gas prices anymore, thanks to all the
money I save by not putting oil in my cars since I switched to DuraLube.

Somewhere on the net is even a write up of someone testing the thing
with a dyno, and it reduced the power output of the engine (think about
it - you add a device that blocks the volume of air in the intake - what
do you expect). If it was really that simple, don't you think that car
manufacturers would be adding them to their cars to help meet CAFE
standards?
