Dear Paul,
Attractive website. Multi-level-marketing setup aka We are so NOT a
Pyramid Scheme!  Plenty of scientific data thrown about.  Website
text is full of high-pressure selling and failures of logic; and
claimed mileage increases border on the absurd.  They've got a set of
results there claiming 40-90% increases in fuel economy in heavy-duty
diesel vehicles.  The big truck owner-operators I'm acquainted with
know their aggregate fuel mileage to within .01 mpg.  Do you suppose
there would be a single operator in the land who wouldn't be jumping
on the stuff if it gave even a five per cent increase?

My BS meter is bouncing off the peg...

Yours,
David
