Many do talk that way in real life, mostly behind a mic though, which is why my CB is usually turned off, especially anywhere near a truck stop. This thread is an excellent representation of why I usually refrain from posting. It seems that all too often the discussion degenerates into name calling and other third-grader-like behavior. I’ll not attempt to lay blame at the feet of any one poster here, but don’t you think that everybody’s time would be better spent on more productive activities than name calling and ridicule? A lot of the problem is not in the message itself, but the way it is expressed. Other’s may not, but I try to respect everybody when I do make the rare post. If I think somebody is doing something foolish, I find it is more effective to not call them a moron, but relate from personal experience why I disagree with them. When you tell somebody they’re an idiot (even if they are), you have lost the battle in trying to make your point with them because they will not listen to anything you have to say after that.

I feel the same way. The Turbo 3000 certainly did nothing for me, as I have already posted. Thankfully I had no money invested in it except two fittings. In this case though, there are so many people who do believe that this product works for them that I am hesitant to completely dismiss it as junk. All I know for sure that it did not work for me and after spending a lot of time on the phone with Andy, I still do not understand any way this device could positively affect fuel economy. On the other hand, I have to admit to being somewhat ignorant of exactly how a fluid under pressure reacts to changes made in the fuel line.
I am always a little hesitant to believe the fuel economy figures of others, because after talking to many in this industry, I have found that most have little understanding of how to accurately figure fuel economy nor do they understand the factors that can affect fuel economy such as winter fuel, cold or extremely hot ambient temps, wind, terrain, hot fuel, weight of load, driving speed, etc.
