This came in from another list I'm on...no comment.

>From elsewhere on the web comes this copy:
 
SplitFire Settles FTC Charges:....The owners of SplitFire branded
spark plugs have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that
"economy, efficiency and improved performance claims were false or
unsubstantiated"  ...An agreement with the FTC bars the company,
splitFire inc. (Northbrook Il.), controlled by Old World Trading, "from
making deceptive claims about fuel economy, emissions,horsepower, or
cost savings...(and) will be barred from misrepresenting the results of
tests, studies or research and from misrepresenting testimonials"...
the agency alleged that the company "did not possess and rely upon a
reasonable basis to support the claims,  that  Split fire's claims that
surveys confirm gas mileage increases were false; and that SplitFire did
not have a reasonable basis to claim that (its) testimonials... reflect
the typical or ordinary experience of customers..."
