If you flip through the JCW catalog a add up all the 10%, 20% 30%!!! fuel savers they push, it's a wonder we're not all getting a hundred miles per gallon!!! What _I_ really like are all the "mechanic-in-a-can" pitches. I'll never have to do another ring or valve job in my life!!!! On a personal note, a looooong time ago (like when I was in high school) when I was working on my bug-eye sprite, I got a JCW catalog, and it was *Full* of snake-oil pitches like these...(and the water pump I ordered for my sprite was so bad I couldn't believe it was designed for my car)....SAVE YOUR MONEY! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young young@sherlock.SIMS.Berkeley.EDU Lafayette, CA 94549 '81 Vanagon ---------------------------------------------------------------------
