Actually, if you use all the loose change floating around most Vanagons
to pay for this thing, the reduced weight will improve fuel economy and
performance, and reduce emissions. Hey, it will work!

Debbie,
Post this and yes, you are falling off that turnip truck.
I had a thermodynamic teacher at UMass Dartmouth that took one look at
this
class of electrical and computer engineers and told us " If I can teach
you
the basics of a Carnot Engine, and keep you from falling into a free
energy
from a perfect refrigerator scam, I'll have done my job".
He was right. We didn't need to know anymore about it than that. And you
need know nothing more than the only thing happening here is someone
wants
to loosen 25 bucks from your pocket and put it in theirs.
I hope this isn't your regular mechanic.
