    Anyone tired of watching your money leave you out the tailpipe unburned? I recently discovered EAGLE RESEARCH A private company that has taken some old technoligy & made it much better. Does anybody remember the POGUE 200 MPG carb? Well these people have taken the design & modified the concept to work with newer vehicles (even fuel injection. There are claims of upwards of 200mpg on his personal chevy truck. That is another story on the website. The cost is VERY reasonable & comes with dvd's to show you how to go about installing the system ( a girl even performed the installation ). Here is the link. http://www.eagle-research.com/index.html This concept was used on POLICE cars to gain an adge over most vehicles on the road. SECRET BUSTED! I'll be installing these systems on my RV & my brothers Gulfstream which is fuel injected. I'll be posting our results soon but by all means try this equipment out for yourself. After spending all this money on my motorhome I want to (above all) drive it all over this beautiful country. CYA SOON! Steve Gon Mad

    i have been reading the eagle research site with many thoughts racing through the brain!

    of course it works!!!! i don't remember the years (late 40's early 50's) Chrysler had this set-up on many of their vehicles.

    don't know why it away.......probably because it WORKED!!!!!!

    I'm a sceptic and I assume that's why there has been no Eureka! response here.
    If these worked why are those who own the rights not selling to the big 3 and beyond? CAFE was met by 'cheating' with 0W and 5W oils up to 1996 to get fractions of an MPG... why wouldn't these have been used instead!? I'll believe it when an independent study shows and proves the worth. So far all tests, like those done by Popular Mechanics, have debunked all of these.
    I thought to prove some to myself and I've tried water injection, Turbonators, Acetone, electrolyzers, carb screens, electric blowers, CAI, hydrogen generators; all meticulously tested and not one worked. In fact most reduced economy like the Turbonator and water injector while CAI netted gains occasionally.
    What did work was the Banks Power Pack. Make the ol' girl breath easier and voilà I gained just under 3 MPG. My 33' carbureted 454 has seen as good as 13.7 MPG but on average sucks $0.23CDN per km out of my pocket.

    Shayne I agree with you I am a skeptic when it come to fuel mileage claims. The best gains I have come across for my '88 454 Turbo 400 drive train has been the Gear Vendors overdrive unit. The 3 speed transmission was just to low geared for highway travel. I have headers with flow master mufflers, roller rocker arms, an edelbrock intake and carb. I am averaging about 12 MPG towing a mini van on a dolly so I don't complain to much. I really think if I slowed down a little I would do better but that is another story.
