Whilst the program is usually full of crap...
People who know nothing would just see a single figure. What if it gives better cold starting, better running, more power and torque everywhere, and better fuel economy ?

A bit like some people fitting air filters and stainless exhausts to totally standard cars for that same 10bhp or so for even higher cost.
