Looks like someone took my original sketch of the Khaos thingie and did a computerized drawing of it. Nice! ... Even my old picture of the KSTC taken with my old celfone cam still lives in the web.

I might consider this an advertisement post since all I see is just this ONE single post by you. Its the same in some other car forums I have also visited.

Anyway, as posted in the other forums, you might ask "your friend" to provide you with links to where PROOF of actual gains in HP, fuel mileage, etc. beyond just testimonials.

Proof such as dyno tests records, emissions, etc.

As posted in the Top Gear Philippines forum, there was a test done using a dyno where THREE fuel addtives were tested (against simply using regular petrol) and ALL fuel additives resulted in some degree in horsepower loss.

Why not this person file a patent application first, before talking about it to public. You can either help this person or hire a patent attorney to help. If this invention is too good to be true, the heck w/ it, be a millionaire in a very short time!

The only way to save gas is not to drive.

Don't waste your sweat on this...

Its the same person posting nearly the same way in multiple car forums, acting as if he was just an innocent driver trying out a friend's product. Once is believable but two or more of the same thing... well, you can see a pattern, he is trying to get the product's name out with minimum advertising expense.
