On Horsepower TV, they ran it on a dyno LS7 and actually gained horsepower and about a 10% decrease in gallons of fuel consumed per hour at wide open throttle. They ran three runs without then with on both 91 and 89 octane fuel.
They have listed for the 2007 Pilot for about $180. + $14. Shipping.

I watched the show you are talking about and didn't take the same message away. On the last test, on 89 fuel, they didn't gain any additional HP, but they said they used about 2 gph less fuel at full throttle.
Ficth has been around a long time and I know their catalyst stabilizes fuel extremely well.
On an engine like this LS7 that's pushing the limits of compression and timing and therefore very sensitive to the fuel being used.....especially at full throttle, I believe what they're saying.
I use the pellet cages (that you drop into fuel tanks) in my seasonal toys (sleds, boat etc.) and haven't had a problem with clogged jets ....and I did before.
