OTTAWA, May 26, 2004 – The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld a Competition Tribunal ruling which found that claims made to consumers about a fuel-saving device, known as the Platinum Vapour Injector (PVI), were false or misleading.The Competition Tribunal decision, which was obtained in May 2002, followed a Competition Bureau investigation into allegations that PVI International Inc., and its owners Michael and Darren Golka, engaged in deceptive marketing practices about a gas-saving device, called the PVI.After a full hearing, the Competition Tribunal ordered the company to stop making fuel-saving and emission-reduction claims about the PVI, and ordered the company and individuals to pay an administrative monetary penalty.The Court also found the Tribunal erred in exercising its discretion not to order PVI to publish corrective notices.

what is a PVI, and what was it supposed to do? I've never heard about it. Glad they got caught. I hate it when people try scams like this.
