Ethos = Gas Savings/Performance?

I received a link in my email today which led me to this site: http://www.thegassecret.net/

At the prices they are advertising, I can see any savings after the purchase of the product and gasoline to fill the tank.
Anyone ever try this in California?

I'd be interested in hearing info, too... Although this advert looks like the scammer type adverts for losing weight, or cheap meds, etc.

(Powhatan, VA!? Do you belong to a motoring club?)

It's pseudoscience and a scam.

EXACTLY!!! If anyone is going to save money, it won't be the consumers. Even if this product works and I highly doubt it, the savings would be spent on the product thus not saving any money in the long run.

Any company that starts selling their product through multi-level marketing (read: pyramid scheme) is immediately put on a "No way, no how" list with me.

Dang! And I was gonna hook up with them for my 'Cow Magnet Gas Plasmatronizer'.
Did the math, and I figure you'd have to drain 3 gallons of gas from your tank every 200 miles to keep it from spilling out.

Well, how the heck are we going to prevent the gas from spilling out? I'm definitely not going to slow down in those curves because my gas may spill out! Maybe this guy Ethos has something there? NOT!!!!!
