government approved gas-saving device."

The
U.S. government does not endorse gas-saving
products for cars. What has happened is the EPA
has tested products or by evaluating the
manufacturer's own test data and have come to
certain conclusions. So, if the seller claims
that its product has been evaluated by the EPA,
ask for a copy of the EPA report. Or go to the
Web resource:
www.epa.gov.
Product Complaints and
Refunds Contact the
manufacturer for a refund if you are not
satisfied with your gas-saving product.
Money-back guarantees are generally offered.
Shifting Gears: Real
Money-Saving Steps There are numerous
no- or low-cost steps you can take to combat
rising gas prices. The most important place to
start is at the gas pump; buy only the octane
level gas you need. All gas pumps must post the
octane rating of the gas under the FTC's Fuel
Rating Rule. Remember, the higher the octane,
the higher the price. Check your owner's manual
to determine the right octane level for your
car.
Here are some additional tips from
the EPA to help you get better gas mileage
