[Greenbuilding] envirotabs?

Hi all,

I've seen products like this before, but none with marketing quite
this over-the-top!

"Credibility" and "reputation" indeed... quotes are absolutely
necessary in this case, to outline these "facts". heh.

> 1.  The engineering and chemistry of our product has won the "Nobel" prize.

Products don't win Nobel prizes, people do, that's why nobody says that.

> 2.  EnviroTabs is EPA registered.

AFAIK, the EPA doesn't handle product registrations...

> 3.  EnviroTabs has a world wide "Patent".

Patents are granted by individual countries, none are "world wide"

> 4.  EnviroTabs reduces harmful emissions up to 85%......YES!!! 85%.

85% of what, CO2? NOx? Particulates? All of them, exactly 85%, for
every vehicle?

> 5.  EnviroTabs increases your MPG up to 38%...(tremendous gas savings).

Again, for every vehicle? Impressive.

Right....

There are ways to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, and many
car manufacturers are starting to do so.. but there's no such thing as
a magic pill that can perform these miraculous claims, I'm afraid. I
don't recommend associating yourself with this company, the whole
thing screams "scam!".

Also, their tagline "see you at the pump".... shouldn't that be "we
won't see you at the pump"?? :)
