Fitch Fuel Catalyst
I was looking around on 4wheelparts.com and I noticed the Fitch Fuel Catalyst.

Sounded interesting and wanted to know if anyone has used them and or heard any pro's/con's about them.
Comments, ideas, etc thanks
Edit:
Read a few reports on google from people that have used them. They say they get approx 1mpg more. I did the math
1mpg = 26 miles extra per tank = approx 2 gallons
2 gallons = $5.40
$200(Price of system)/$5.40 = 37 tanks of fuel for it to pay for itself.
I go through roughtly a tank a week which means it would take approx less than a year for it to pay for itself.
Correct me if my math is wrong...
I obviously have nothing better to do.

"Because Fitch boosts octane, this allows engines requiring premium fuel to operate on a lower grade fuel without sacrificing any performance."
This is the only real benefit I can see to this device. Raising the octane alone won't improve mileage.

Dont be a dumbass. Dont buy from 4WheelParts! 
I've acually read an article in Off Road magazine where they put one of those on their Durangos with the 5.9 and saw an increase of 2 MPG. I think it was from 11 to 13 MPG. I've thought about getting one of those but better MPG isnt the highest priority right now (It will be in the summer though!).
