Nope. Scammers have shifted into high gear because of the ballooning fuel prices right now.

Nope. You'll just put another drain on your wallet. Don't you think that if there were potential to increase fuel economy that drastically, the mechanical engineers who designed your car would have figured that out by now? Mechanical engineers need to abide by CAFE standards or they risk the car or truck being deemed a gas guzzler and subject to increased taxation.

In short, don't drive like your hair is on fire by braking, then immediately accelerating again. Anticipate the actions of other drivers by not tailgating, coast whenever possible, and drive in the slow lane on the highway. When I was driving my old Ranger 4years ago, when gas shot up to $5.05 a gallon, I managed to get 23.5 MPG, and the truck was only rated for 19 MPG highway.
