Oh look, someone on the news claims their gas mileage was doubled, it must be true! Just like how unlimited GSM is coming to Canada.

More likely it's a combination of exaggeration on his part combined with a placebo effect (if you put a fuel saving device on your car you drive with more awareness of how much fuel you are using).

It would be so easy to just put this on an engine on a dynamo and measure things to prove it worked, I wonder why that hasn't been done yet!

Probably invalidate it, plus you could be violating all kinds of emissions standards as well, depending on what the change did to the ignition computer and how it changed the way it reacts.
