I wonder if the instructions say what to do with all that surplus gas you have to drain off and discard? Due to the savings ya know
Not beating on ya there, sadly there is no magic gadget, pill, additive or anything that can save gas. Best opportunity for savings starts with your foot.
Edited to add, I sure love your sig pic!

Those would be both ...NO.
Disturbing the air is not economy, works on tv though
And the chip is a cheap intake air temp spoof that the pcm will quickly learn and go back to normal, so no.

$7 is cheap for that "chip," but it'* still a rip-off and total waste of money. If any performance part, that worked, gave you 35 more horsepower, it would sell for much for than $7. You get what you pay for.
Anything that causes turbulence in your air intake will harm fuel economy and performance.
Those have both been discussed on here several times. They are both scams.
