hahahahaha! Deadly deal is right - a fatal blow to your wallet.I'd LOVE to see what's inside this thing. A couple of resistors at best... No way can that contraption work. I googled and found a different one is one with dyno result!!! LOL!EDIT: ANd another! "It applies the quantum technology to get eletropositive ionization through the cigarette lighter socket resulting in more electric transmission efficiency as well as in better management ability of auto computer system, so the accelerator action is more sharp thus the power increases by DIN 4 HP generally." LOL!

Look out! The fastest, most fuel efficient car EVER!

It's a couple of caps, much like the underhood voltage stabilizer someone here has... Caps filter out the fluctuations in the line by boosting the sags and absorbing the spikes..

I concur on the caps part, but its so small I think it would do hardly nothing. I can see a real voltage stabilizer doing more but when I had mine I didnt think I saw mpg increases just less dimming of headlights when rolling up windows and that sucker had some big caps inline.
