That being said, most of the cryo sellers are full of BS, it can't possibly give as large of a FE increase as is being claimed, it doesn't make any changes significant enough to change audio cables (take my word... I am an electrical engineer, an audio system designer, and an audio enthusiast), and it is not a magic bullet. Some people even drink "cryoed water" because they think it is better for them then water that hasn't been dunked in liquid nitrogen.
That being said, it removes sites that could be fracture initiation points, improves wear properties, can modify hardness (up or down depending on the material properties), and can change spring characteristics of the object processed. It is especially significant for tooling like pressed and dies, and for competition firearms.
So yes, a lot of hogwash but not complete hogwash.

Wasn't Slick 50 Supposed to Do the Same Thing?
I have put a pint of Slick 50 along with the oil in the past. It's supposed to coat the engine with Telfon to reduce friction and improve durability. I did not notice a significant difference....

Re: freeze your car?
Take a look at this pivotal quote from the story:
A hybrid Honda typically gets really great gas mileage anyway, around 50 miles to the gallon, but David Hutchison's cryogenically tempered engine has been known to get close to 120 miles a gallon.
Well, my HCH without cryo processing "has been known to get 120 mpg" too, every time I coast it jumps right up to 120. Who needs cryo BS for that? This kind of reporting is a bunch of hooey.
