A large scale test of the Inset and four other air pollution control products was conducted by researchers at the Armament Systems Process Division of the U.S. Army's laboratories at Picatinny Arsenal for the New Jersey Department of Transportation, but the report was not released because of major problems with the testing equipment. There has been an ongoing controversy in New Jersey regarding the reliability of the equipment they use to test emissions. In August 1996, the state of New Jersey charged Inset with violating the Consumer Fraud Act and state securities laws. But Inset continues to flourish on the Internet.
I asked a friend of mine who used to own an auto repair shop if he had ever heard of the Stabilizer. He said that he had but it was called the Vitalizer when he was in business. He thinks it might be the same thing being marketed under another name. He even suggested the unthinkable: there might be fraud involved here! I couldn't believe my ears. Fraud on the internet! What a concept! Anyway, I asked him: why, if this were fraud, would anyone be so blatant about it? Weren't they afraid of being caught and severely punished by the very law enforcement agencies who were giving testimonials for them? Not very likely, he said. By the time law enforcement catches up with these kinds of frauds, says my friend, they have moved on, changed their name, and are doing business as usual somewhere else with the same product but a new name. It happens all the time in the fuel and oil additive industry, he said. So, it wouldn't surprise him if it happened in the steel tube/fuel efficiency industry, too.

So I looked for the silver lining in the Inset Stabilizer story and thought I had found it in the alien fuel efficiency angle. Now, I have to rethink my hypothesis. But wait. Maybe I can still find something positive here. I can say that if there are aliens hovering around earth looking for some good beef to mutilate or some tasty humans to experiment on, then they are probably using the Inset Fuel Stabilizer. And maybe Bob Pearson doesn't have to worry about a patent because he has one on his home planet.
I don't know if they have an environmental protection agency on Bob's planet, but here on earth the EPA did tests on the Inset Fuel Stabilizer and found that it neither reduces vehicle emissions nor increase fuel mileage. What a shock!
Postscript: For those of you who balk at the $1,600 price tag on the Inset Fuel Stabilizer, don't fret. For a mere $239.95, plus tax and shipping and handling, you can get the Mileage Wizard ¢â. This device, we are told on the authority of those who are selling it, is a gadget which utilizes "cutting edge technology." According to its promoters, "the gasoline is introduced into the thermal magnetic vaporization chamber creating an almost vapor state prior to entering the fuel injectors, creating greater fuel efficiency." If you do not trust their data on fuel efficiency you can call the "Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse at 1-800-363-3732." This offer is exclusively made directly to the public rather than to car manufacturers because, we are told, those big bad greedy corporate types would put owning this device "out of the reach of the average person." It is much better to allow greedy average people rip off each other in an MLM scheme, where the opportunity to make over $80,000 a month is made available to each and every one of us by the kind founders of the Mileage Wizard ¢â. Or so they say.
Hiclone promises fuel savings of up to 20%, power increase of up to 15%, and hydro carbon emission reductions of up to 30% with prices from $160-$215 (Australian). They'll even sell you something called Fuelmax which "is a magnetic frequency resonator which clips onto the fuel line and 'fractures' the passing fuel, allowing it to mix with oxygen more readily and thus burn more efficiently." This should keep you laughing for up to ten minutes.
