Speed Plus ... Another fuel saving device hoax?

[sleepsus]

So anyone tried it yet?

Apologies if there is already an existing thread about this, I searched for it but didn't find anything.

[SIZE=2][SIZE=4]How does it work?[/SIZE][/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Ans. [SIZE=4]SPEED PLUS Mileage Enhancer[/SIZE] is a catalytic converter uses the elements in the air to fine tune the fuel & air mixture entering the intake manifold to the chemically correct (stoichiometric) ratio (14.6 parts air to 1 part gas). Moreover it distributes this mixture uniformly to all the cylenders of the engine. And recycles the unburned carbons into usable gasses thus giving a higher fuel yield. During burst of acceleration and deceleration SPEED PLUS chemically adjusts & help supply exactly the right fuel and air mixture (lean or rich) at the right time so that the engine can run powerfully, economically and without the air pollutants that results from poorly mixed, distributed and burned fuel.[/SIZE]

Looks more like a valve cover vent filter (aka crankcase vent filter).

I'm right... check the installation instructions.

but has anyone tried it? does it deliver what it advertises?

You don't have to even spend money to try it... just reading the pseudo-science and gibberish that passes for technical information would already tell you it doesn't work as claimed.

Aside from the fact that most cars already run as close to the proper stoich ratio of 14.7 (not 14.6) as they can to properly operate the catalytic converters... what the site claims is complete hogwash.
