Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter
I saw this yesterday and thought you would all find it as interesting as I did.

If you add this to a car, it can almost double the highway MPG.

Car companies have been had stuff like that since the 60's and 70's. The oil companies pay them to not produce it. Conspiracy...

Snake Oil... With all of these if you haven't heard about them in the news, they're just advertising and a waste of your time.

Considering that oil prices and our foreign dependency on oil and global warming and all that are hot topics, if this was true everyone would know about it and be buying one.

Myth Busters tested a lot of products like this and none of them worked. In fact, man of them made the fuel economy much worse. If you think it's too good to be true, it almost always is.
