Liars! This is RIDICULOUS!!
I want to help all those out there who have been scammed by "tornados", $8 performance chips, water for gas, $40 nitrogen tire refills, seafoam, and all that type of stuff. Here's blatant lying In the most popular paper in the Cleveland area. Its an advertizement Sunday June 22 2008 for a large chain Dealership in the area. I don't know how to post pics, so I saved it under my name (LIARS) in the members's hhr category.
Understand that peope lie to you. especially about mileage. I will ALWAYS try to steer everyone here in the correct direction, and back it up with PROOF.

ClevelandHhrSS: Only one major paper in Cleve anyways. On the news a few days ago that the reporter said you get better mpg with nitrogen in your tires. Showed one woman who readout was .7 higher mpg with nitrogen, but failed to mention how her driving changed / weather changes or if her tires were half flat before going to nitrogen.

I will have to argue on the seafoam. It does keep your injectors clean. And it does work. With all the crap we get out of the gas stations im glad i use Seafoam. One can every oil change. As far as the e-bay chips and the tornadoes sorry i dont spend my money on garbage. I have a 2.2 with some mods and i will put a little more into my 2.2 / 5 spd.

Maybe the ad copy people at the newspaper put a 3 instead of a 2 on the leading digit of the mpg ratings?
That aside, it generally annoys me how ALL the auto makers always advertise highway mpg only. Most people's driving is not pure highway cruising 24/7. Most people get the city rating or somewhere in between.
It is misleading because they show the vehicle driving around in an urban setting and they say "35mpg", example is one of the Ford Focus ads.
