These have been proven over and over again as having zero effect. Check out snopes.com or even the mythbuster episode where they try these systems.

You're better off slowing down, accelerating even and anticipating and coasting more to stops, etc.

:cat: Hi there.

The only person saying anything nice about these fuel savers is the guy selling them.

In New Zealand our various organisations dealing with scams, product awareness and what's hot here are always telling us that these fuel savers are not worth spending money are. If they do work-it is rare.

I probably have not answered your question-but I've yet to hear from anybody who says these gadgets actually worked, saved petrol and saved money.

Cheers :right:

:lol: One of the most wildly spread hoax ever in the automotive world...A total waste of money..Keeping your vehicle tuned, preform scheduled maintenance and check your tires at least monthly..This along with smooth starts and stops will get the most mileage one can expect...Another thing I've learned over the years don't carry any thing in your vehicle that you absolutely do not need...Any extra weight certainly has an adverse effect on fuel mileage...

Wow, thanks for your replies. I have learned a lot from you. Yes, I do not trust them as well as. If it works, the person who creates it will be awarded the Nobel Prize.
