Default fuel milage plus

I was sent an article about a process to add 50 to 100% to your fuel milage. Sounds like snake oil to me. Has anyone reviewed this and can come back with an answer? The site is: View video

Does it sound to good to be true??? It probably is!!! If it was that good don't you think that car manufacturers would be offering it?

So.... all they offer on the website is a video, no pictures, no docutmentation, just a Oedipus-Rexxing Infomercial.

And then give them lots of info so they can contact me (with a fast-talking sales pitch.)

1- In a word: BS.
2- In two words: Scam Artists.

If they had a legit product you KNOW any automaker would LOVE to incorporate it right in the factory.

Good gas mileage is a major selling point.

But it gets even better:

This PICC thing proposes to:
"How will it work?
The Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter replaces your present catalytic converter. Fuel passes through the PICC counter-flow relative to the exhaust. A special "burned-in" rod of cold-rolled steel is located inside the reaction chamber. At a "tuned" length, this rod produces a magnetic resonance effect, such that a phenomenon similar to a lightening storm takes place within the reactor. The fuel passing through this "storm" is "cracked" into it's elements, and enters a 4th state of matter we're calling plasma. This plasma fuel is sent back to the engine for a cool and efficient burn. The PICC will use it's own computer system for injection control and fuel
management.
Ok
Replace the Cat (probably violating emissions regs)
Heat the fuel by running it thru the new cat (Are they fragging NUTS?) The Safety implications are staggering!
Magically turn the fuel into something they call 'plasma'... This can't be confused with what real scientists call plasma, (Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) because it would set your frigging car on fire!

Um... so they want to sell you the Magic Catalytic Converter, a New Computer System, and Probably a Lot of Really Expensive Custom Plumbing to route the Magic "plasma" fuel to (betcha) new Magical Injectors.

But thats OK. Cause not only will it allow your car to run on Water.
And I won't even need outside air anymore:

" No Exhaust!
It's been learned that when running on plasma fuel, the exhaust can be sent back to the intake and the engine will run in a closed loop without any exhaust!"
(Quotes from another PICC website: Save Gas)

So this scam violates EPA regs, most state emissions laws, commonsense vehicle safety standards, and the First and Second laws of Thermodynamics.

Sounds Sweet. Like a Sucker.

corrina61, Welcome to the Forum. If you have noticed the above subject is 6-8 months old. No one has posted to it other than the first couple of days. Obviously it was thought to be "snake oil". Good Luck.

Corrina -
If you can't get to that site, perhaps you'd be interested in a bridge?
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Their description does not make any sense.
