They tested one in the last issue of diesel power and picked up about 1mpg gain.

EPA doesn't endorse the product either.

Sorry man but there might be three pages of ads in an entire TDR. I gather you have never seen one have you? Would you like it better if I just called it what it is.... the Turbo Diesel Register? There, now I guess it is reliable.

And LOL when did the EPA become a trusted source and when did their endorsement lend credibility?

Everyone that I have known or read about has typically seen a solid 1 mpg improvement. If you think about it, that’s still a significant gain in fuel economy. The Fitch costs $328 dollars for my truck application. Depending on the price of fuel and miles driven, I’m guessing it would take me 2 years for this product to pay for itself. For those who drive more frequently, then obviously it would pay for itself much quicker.
