No, it doesn't sound fishy...it IS fishy!
As a matter of fact, you'd probably get the same results if you shoved fish into your gas tank! Steer clear of this "miracle products" as they are all crap, period!

My father-in-law got one like this and I took it apart. The "chip" turned out to be just a 1kohm resistor, which with the plastic cover is worth about $0.30 and does pretty much nothing.
