Default Bio-Pill improve fuel efficiency?

Now, in my entrepenuership class, one of the student's mom sells pills that are placed into a gas tank. It can be diesel, gas, or others. You can read all about it here.

Is it me or does this seem like a bunch of garbage? It looks like one of those sites trying to sell the next big weightloss pill when in reality all it does is load you up with caffeine and similar.

I want to get some views from people who know more about engines and fuels. Does this seem at all plausible or just another person trying to make money with trash?

I wanted to get all peoples opinions on this and this was the best place I could think for it to be.

I have some of those pills and tried it in my gas tank. Its really something for people who do not drive their cars to the limits. I felt nothing and the gas milage was still the same on my car.

I would definately reccommend not using this or anything like it. Pure rubbish.

Its just like what happened before with the diet pills. You'd meet someone who was a personal seller of diet pills, and if you were interested in another income, they'd pimp you out, you'd start selling and they'd get a bonus for referring you. Now, the focus has changed because the hot thing isn't losing weight, it's saving on gas.

Anyone that reads the front page of "the product" and can't figure this out deserves to get scammed.

ugh, why don't you combine that with a fuel chip
http://www.fuel-disk.net/
it's a sticker that you attach to the outside of your fuel tank...holy crap.
and then supercharge your engine with an ebay resistor chip and vortex tornado for your intake.
people will buy anything noawdays

ABC news just did a test on this and the results were seriously lacking. I didn't get a link but go to ABC news and watch the story.
