Money quote: <i>The device mitigates electrical interference from the stereo, lights, air conditioning, and more that can negatively affect the ECU’s ability to optimize fuel injection and fuel efficiency.</i><p>Silliness. My lighter is on a different circuit from the ECU. And doesn't the ECU have maybe a couple of capacitors in front of it to clean up noisy power?
