Snake oil... Anybody notice?
Lately the increased numbers of fuel saving "snake oil" products that "fit ZR-1" on Ebay since the gas prices have went up again.

Re: Snake oil... Anybody notice?
I guess I havent been paying attention much. I try not to look to long at the pricess posted on the boards when I fill up. It keeps me from having to take prozac. Especially when It comes to filling the Expedition up.
 On another note I live in the fourth largest city in the USA and we have the worst public transportation. When I lived in San Jose California there was not one place you couldn't get on the bus there. They went everywhere. If it was as good here as it was there I'd take it to work and back and only drive on the weekends. Seriously.

Re: Snake oil... Anybody notice?
I would imagine you've also noticed the number of products listed on eBay that fit the ZR-1. My favorite is the distributor cap. Some of these vendors now relist all of there products every day, making it difficult to even see what's relevant.

Re: Snake oil... Anybody notice?
Rick,
I always dread driving in Houston every time I go there. Traffic is as bad as anywhere else I've driven (in the states). A signal to change lanes just means "close it up so I can't move over".
