I have seen increased fuel efficiency and there are no outlandish claims from the maker. I just purchased a fuel saving device which is a throttle body spacer.

It's bizarre to me to see that even that kind of job has been roboticized by someone since the job really shouldn't even exist in the first place (I don't mind pumping my own gas - gives me a chance to stretch my legs). I never wished for all the people who pumped my gas while I was living there to lose their employment but the whole situation provided nothing for me and actually slowed me down. When I moved to Oregon I learned that they have a law there to preserve jobs that requires all gas stations to have attendants and you actually aren’t allowed to pump your own gas – not because its more efficient (really its not – you end up waiting for the attendant while you stare at the unused pump next to you), but because so few low wage jobs are available it was a way to ensure employment.
