Because of fsc, and his trucks get better mileage than what is used to calculate fsc, he likes it when diesel goes up,because he thinks he gets more on the fsc. Most of us get shorted miles, need to run out of route, and deadbeats, non of which have fsc. Yet I have a friend who still listens to him. He's the one who told me KR's next plan is to build n14. I told him KR doesn't like n14. He told me "he does now".

Look at all the great cons in history, you will find these commonalities. The con artist offers the sucker a perfect solution to their problem, mixes in some conventional wisdom to add authenticity, offers anecdotal evidence as proof and never empirical data.
The odd thing is that it is the ones which offer the most outlandish claims sometimes work the best. Turbo 3000d is an example of that. 10% fuel savings for a $200 part installed in minutes. If it said 1% nobody would buy it. If it was something you had to take your fuel pump apart to install it, nobody would buy it. Even if it was named fuelsaver 3 or something, less people would buy it. But with a ridiculous name like "turbo 3000d" they're still selling the things and it's been proven to do nothing time and time again.
So when someone offers you something that solves a common problem, they have no empirical data but lot's of anecdotes, their pitch involves lots of common sense conventional wisdom to get you in agreement, the price point vs. outlandish claims make you think it's worth a shot, I'm not out TOO much if it doesn't, and it is very easy for you and requires little effort or diligence.
If all those things are true, you should have alarm bells, red lights, and warning buzzers in your head. Think about it, ##### enlargement, diet pills, hair regrowth, X-ray glasses, pyramid schemes of all sorts, etc... All these scams follow the same design.Long FLD, joseph1135, Davidlee and 7 others Thank this. -

Any one that understands things mechanical could look at it and say What The ............. -
But it was the same thing: Throw out some technical jargon in your sales spiel, and guys would buy the dang things like they were golden, and swear they worked. SMHdannythetrucker Thanks this. -
placebo turbo would not sell

My question is, were the drivers who used it plugging for Eco Taz, and Dice called them out? -
Absolutely not. I was one of those drivers using eco-taz. He gave that to me for free but never paid me anything above and beyond. I guess it was just in my head sure seemed like it got better mileage. It got tossed in the sidebox when the motor was inframed a couple of years ago.
