Because in scientific evaluations all the different variations of these things have been proven to be bulls--t.

OMG, I have to get one of these things! A 31% increase in fuel efficiency, and an extra 35 horsepower! Best of all, it has a lifetime guarantee, what a steal!

I call BS.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt since you put a in your thread title. I love reading these things though. Anybody with any knowledge of the combustion efficiency and fuel conversion efficiency of modern engines could tell you that any massive gain on a standard engine is impossible. Modern engines run at around 98% combustion efficiency, so how could you possible gain 31%? You can't. But a fool and his money...

You guys are a bunch of killjoy. I bought 10 and wait till my fuel efficiency goes up 350% and my HP goes up by 310.

Making these devices could provide me a way of making some extra cash and doing something with my soda cans instead of recycling them.
