I'd laugh my *** off if people were using those "gas saving" devices on their Hummers and Excursions. 
It probably isn't too likely, but it would be pretty ironic.

I'm glad I passed on this scam. The guy wanted me to be a distributor for this crack-squad operation.

far as im concerned best way to save gas is have good properly inflated tires, a well maintained engine, and a highflowing intake and exhaust to improve efficiency, oh and cruise contorl on the highway keeping under 70

probably has to do with the 2.84 gear ratio in the last car it would get 30mpg at 75mph, and 28mpg at 65. However the ssei averages about 27/28 at that speed and highest I have seen was about 29mpg doing 65-70

A guy spotted my truck at 7-11 the other day. He waited for me to come out, and started talking fuel mileage. ( I get 9 with my carbed 392 and 4.88'*) He says his relative put some sort of gizmo on his truck and got a 5 mpg improvement. I told him I put four of them on my truck, and now I have to stop every few miles and drain off the extra fuel from my tank, to keep it from overflowing. You shoulda seen his face.
