Levar Burton frowns upon their poor attempts at cool fake tehnological terminoligy. pfft...Ions....Ive heard more believable rubbish from holistic medicine practitioners and that guy that is always pawning off some kind of recycled garbage on the home shopping network.

F and an F- for answers to buyer questions..though he DOES get a C+ for including multiple american flags, and a B for having more than 3 colors...though he could have gotten extra credit for blinking words. F for forgetting to mention they are the jdm valve caps

Those are impressive. I have some of those push-button valve caps on my Taurus, pretty sure if I painted them silver they'd look exactly the same. Probably have about the same effect too.

I like this one myself though, nice colours and all.

Apparently I'm supposed to "Place the unit slanting position at the angle ranging 15 to 45 degree gravity manitude."

If people are actually making money on this, maybe i'm in the wrong business...

The questions are hilarious:
Quote:
Q: You've got to be kidding. There is no way these can do what you are promising.

A: I am not promising anything. I do guarantee that these devices will increase your MPG or I will fully refund your purchase price. I have delivered over 40 of these and I have not had one returned for the refund.

Q: A molecule or atom that is electrically charged is called an ion. A mineral is a solid, inorganic chemical composition, with a crystal structure,and is naturally occuring. There are over 4000 known minerals, all with electrical charges and therfore "ionic minerals". My question is how can such common substances embedded in a valve stem perform such miracle gas mileage improvement.

A: While your definitions of an ion and a mineral are correct, I do not profess to have the technical knowledge to explain exactly how they work. However, as a practical explanation I have enough satisfied customers who are enjoying better gas mileage to know that they do in fact work.
I love the "i am not promising anything. I do guarantee that these devices will increase your MPG" bit. Isn't a guarantee and promise more or less the same thing?

Anyone ever have hte urge to create a fake ebay account, go through every auction listed like this, bid a million dollers, and just leave them hanging? Maybe that'll be next weekend's project

These almost make the "resistor in a box" chips look useful.

hmmmm.... what would happen if you ran the "resistor in a box" between the valve caps?????


I'm guessing at least a 40% savings????
