Not sure where you have to install that thing. Me being the skeptic that I always am though what does it claim to do/what exactly is it?

Interesting...I must say. I dont know if its going to work or not, but you should get it installed and post back on how well it works. I would be interested in seeing the results. As for the installation, I'd just go to an independent mechanic, I'm sure theyd figure it out.

Sounds pretty serious since they suggest oil change after 1000 miles, I will post results soon

Thereby negating any fuel savings you may have experienced?

No, just first 1000 miles because: Motor oil will absorb some of the varnish and carbon build up removed by FuelMaster

May take a while to recoup but if its time for an oil change anyways it may be profitable.
It'd be interesting to see whether it works. I'm a little skeptical because some of the images on the site are broken as well as it looking a little too good to be true. That is just my 0.02 though.

I remeber a popular mechanics article a while back that tested a bunch of fuel saving devices. Not a single one made any real difference. My belief is if any of these devices worked, why wouldn't a single car company have already installed them on their cars to gain the green marketing benifits of a more fuel efficient vehicle. The website even says
One or more of these benefits may occur with product installation.*
*your results can, will and may vary
Just my thoughts. If by any chance it actually worked, I suggest you buy stock in that company really really fast as you will make millions. Think Microsoft.
