We get asked about independent tests quite a bit here. This is to be expected with the amount of products aimed towards the 'automotive enthusiast' that are completely bogus products. They sometimes make perfect sense in theory but when it comes to feeling or noticing any benefit you never can tell, usually because there is nothing to feel.The following links are what we have as of today, March 11th, 2008. Remember, we didn't provide them the information they published, they did their own testing. I know that's a given seeing as it's independent testing but if I don't say it a lot of people just assume it true.
DSport Magazine has published their results in the March 2008 issue. We have a pdf copy of those pages here.
Modified Magazine published their short test in the April 2008 issue available here in pdf format.
Sparkplugs.com did a test using a Neon SRT-4 here.
Change2E85.com makes E85 conversion kits for vehicles and noticed a very decent increase in fuel economy in their tests.

I wish you had REAL CARS listed, not fancy hybrids.
Most people have regular vehicles. Hybrids being tested skews the results.
You used to have a Chevy Malibu on your site - now it's not there.
That car was a REAL car, a normal car.
Also, there is no mention of how well your plugs work with HHO systems, or how well they work when modified into Jet Fire Plugs.
What test results do you have on 2002 S-10, 2004 Chevy Classic, and a 2008 Ford Ranger (I4)?
OOPS! Forgot a question -
You say that there is a 1 year warranty.
How come? If your plugs are so good, why not offer a 5yr/50,000 mile warranty?
$25+ per plug and have to change them yearly doesn't seem like much of a value, even if I got 4% increase in anything. It could take me 2 years to recoup my investment.
I'll just point out that one other reason that you'll run into a lot of skepticism is where you choose to advertise - Popular Science (where I ran across your ad) has good articles, but the vast majority of their ads are for snake oil of one kind or another, so I automatically assume that if something's advertised there, it's probably a scam. Some possible food for thought to give your marketing department.
