Default Saving Gas!!!!

Ok I was wondering I'm not a Mechanic or Engineer but I was down at the Food and New Product show this pass weekend in hawaii. This guy came up to me and started to talk about saving gas. So I was thinking if you could take a look at there Web site tell what you think The guy made it look so good but what to good maybe not so Good anyway let me know what you think.

I know the best upgrade to save momney on gas I ever did was put a flux capacitor on my xb, and i would go back to 1969 and buy gas there.

I did have to change the activation speed of it from 88 down to 77 though, the box just didn't like going that fast.

my best gas saving method is not driving around and keeping the fast pedal off the floor

If you have ever seen that show Mythbusters on the discovery channel they tested out all the popular gas saving devices and none of them worked, the only thing that was somewhat effective was running off of recycled vegetable oil.
