I was looking at accessories for my 2022 Prius LE and I came across an Innovative performance chip that's supposed to add horsepower, torque and MPG. I never really thought to see the words Prius and performance in the same sentence, but they managed it. It's only $90 so if it works even a little it would pay for itself in no time. Has anyone had any experience with these? Any thoughts on the subject?

that's supposed to add horsepower, torque and MPG.

SURE it will.

Just marketing LIES.
IF it were possible to do all 3 without drastically increasing emissions, Toyota would have done it already.
AND if you live where emission testing is mandatory, it likely will FAIL because of non-OEM parts, regardless of the actual emission readings.

Snake oil claims have been around since the week after the first car rolled off the assembly line.

Same as the magnetic clamps around the fuel pipe that “allign the fuel” and give better mpg.
scam alert

you can gain more than 5mpg by turning the ac off

I'm not convinced it's all snake oil. I have several performance cars and I have gotten as much as 32 horsepower just by doing a performance tune. My SRT8 gained 25 hp from my Diablo tuner and it has an economy tune that increased the mileage by a very small amount. They aren't always optimally tuned and there are gearheads out there that spend a lot of time figuring how to do just that.

Sure it is.
When they claim to increase HP AND get better fuel mileage all at the same time.......
That claim is not truthful.
