Mod please move this if this is not the right place.

Kind of off topic for our car but since the gas is sky high, I was wondering what you guys thought of this.

hahaha. for real ?
it it is possible, the manufacturers would have know about it 10 years ago, and would have incorporated similar technology into the cars produced thesedays.
.
LOL at how it mentions "same testing equipment as detriot uses". wtf is that supposed to mean, i mean detroit is a motor city, but you cannot be serious at how it markets itself !
.
the nature of the combustion engine is that it is ony a certain % efficient. thats the nature of the fuel and nothing will ever change. even in lab controlled tests, you CANNOT force more kilojoule of energy out of gasoline... only way is through the control of air/fuel mixture and ignition timing. but thats directly related to engine design.

Nobody really believes that bull shyte do they? If so, I can sell you a chip guaranteed to give you 75+ HP and improve your fuel mileage. Nothing in that even makes common logical sense.

Here’s what our scientific testing has shown: In one test at our Research Facility, we got 9X the fuel efficiency from a gas guzzling 318 V-8 Chrysler engine. We ran a 318 V-8 Chrysler engine on a brand new state of the art dynamometer (the same testing equipment that Detroit uses) at 3,000 rpms under a 50% load for an hour. This test condition approximated an 8 cylinder van with a 318 engine, traveling up a 30 degree incline for one hour, at 65 miles per hour. Before the PICC modification, the engine used 18 pounds of fuel. At an average weight of 6.15 pounds per gallon for gasoline, that would equal 2.93 gallons of fuel. Converting that into miles per gallon, it got around 22 mpg.
That right there is where I stopped reading. I had a '95 Dodge Ram with said 318 engine. At no point under any circumstance did it ever achieve anywhere close to 22 MPG. For damn sure not climbing a 30% grade. Maybe descending a 30% grade it might get close to that. Total 100% unadulterated BS.
