I just spoke with Rocco Del Priore of Potamkin. He said STWA had MSNBC and their cameras there to film the test. He said everyone was impressed with the vast difference in the numbers with and without the STWA device installed. I asked if it were possible STWA disconnected something to fool the machine and he said he very much doubted that since if that were possible the shop would have known to watch out for it because customers would probably try to do the same thing. I asked if it might be some sort of parlor trick, like a chemically treated filter in the black box that might not last very long. He said he wasn't told nor asked what was in the box so couldn't say. All he observed were the readings on his emissions machine which he knows was not tampered with at all. While we could argue about the merits of the test itself, it does appear that the STWA device did what the company claimed it would under such circumstances. I do hope STWA allows MSNBC to conduct it's own independent tests. For example, hook up the device to a car and allow that car to be driven for several hours or days before testing the emissions. As Philip Bailey advises, go to the Consumer Reports folks and get them to certify that it works under real-world driving conditions. - Jeff
