OMG - hologram technology to change the properties of fuel. And from a paper disk you stick on the outside of your gas tank. This is rubbish.
I think its a variation on an urban legend where this guy buys a car, goes on a long trip and is able to drive across the US and back on a single tank of gas. Shortly thereafter, he observes two men fiddling with his engine in his driveway and when confronted they run away with a small something-or-other they have removed from it. Mileage goes to normal thereafter. The idea is that the car company supposedly had some prototype technology that they installed on a car which was then mistakenly sold. It's complete BS.

I've heard that if you stick a 'd' on the end of your 530 it'll use 40% less fuel..

I think there must be something to this holographic fuel rearrangement, but there are plenty of reasons to watch from a distance. The oil fouling they talk about in their sales pitches is a big worry to me. ..Can anyone explain how a gasoline engine in good shape can somehow start fouling the oil from deposited sludge after merely adding a device that supposedly does some form of molecular fuel rearrangement to improve combustion? ..The other troublesome part is that these multi-level gurus have gotten their fangs into it and hyped it at about three times what the originator thought it was worth. If you want to read about the multi-level aspect of this outfit check out this link:

It looks to me like these guys will make a quick buck behind the scenes and then some form of 'disaster' will collapse the multi-level aspect and skin all the 'sheeple'. It has all the makings of previous schemes that conned people into them with the front guys making all the money, and then 'converting' when the bubble was big enough. ...But I still think there is something to it that all of us should keep an eye on! There are many grand ideas that con men get their hands on first!
