After many months after taking out my throttle body spacer i believe i may have been wrong. My gas mileage used to sit around 18 with the spacer now i am only getting 16 =( or could it just be something else could be causing problems?

Who the heck knows? I can't really see how a spacer would do ANYTHING in a fuel injected vehicle. I suppose my next step would be to reinstall it to see if your mileage went up again. And if it did, maybe we ALL ought to get one!

If so - we're going to catch hell at F150online trying to convince everyone to put one on...

You post it up first.

Jack, when you got suckered into a fuel atomizer, did they ever say how it works? I looked up a few sites that sell them but they never say how they work in theory.(that is my first red flag because it means I'm supposed to just take their word for it.) I know that the current products are pretty much a scam(even if the mileage results can be verified but that is another scam in itself) but even I have accomplished things off of impossible failures.
Haha dont get me started on the guys at Best Buy...

Another scam was the moth ball one.

Dump a few in your tank and your off to save yourself some $$$$!!!!
