Default better mpg and more hp?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Air-R...spagenameZWDVW
So theres the link, I got something similiar to this. Anyone know if it works? I just put it in and going to see if mpg increase at all, I'm thinking like 1-3 miles more to the gallon. Supposedly, it will increase mpg and hp, don't really care or expect anything for the hp... I had a question though. On the installation instructions it says "makes sure the device does not interfere with the mass air meter or throttle body as shown. Assure you don't block any hoses or vacum lines. I made sure it wasnt blocking the hose connecting to the tube but I have no idea wtf a mass air meter is or throttle body is. I installed the unit and was wondering what, if anything can it screw up? Can it mess up anything in my car?

shouldnt mess anything up, thats their way of covering thier proverbial 4ss. Though i am not sure if i buy it, the whole idea of the thing, i have seen info-mercials for similar products and i understand the theory, i just dont think you will see a measurable difference...exept for the placebo effect, but hey ignorance is bliss (not trying to say you are ignorant bro, dont flame me...)
