If you watch Performance TV on Velocity you might have seen any number of hucksters hawking their wares, mostly harmless and usually cool to see. Just like the good old days when JC Whitney sold chrome C Pillar filagree and “mag” hubcaps, but these guys are pretty much shills for their sponsors.
They had Norbert, a “German Engineer” with his invention that promised to increase fuel economy by up to 25%. More horsepower and get this more electrical power too! It will improve the efficiency of your air conditioning system as well. Better emissions. A trucker in Canada who drives 10,000 miles per week, 15% - 20% fuel savings by zip-tying these magic wands to the battery cable and the fuel line.
The website of this snake oil is <http://enginebooster.us>
Even as light-weight as these hosts are it was painful to see them deal with this clown and try to make believe it was serious.
Wow - imagine adding 2.5 MPG to the GMC metronome and add another 50 horsepower for free! Your headlights will be brighter too.
Oy.
