New fuel saving device. Yeah right.
« on: 09 February 2009, 12:44:15 »

More snake oil from our favourite tat bazaar.
This novelty item claims to:
Save upto 8% of your fuel costs, depending on age of your vehicle.  
Increase torque and power by upto 5%
Reduce emission of CO by upto:  40%
Reduce emission of HC by upto:  14%

Pretty optimistic claims for a modified air freshener I'd say. ;D

And people are buying it! And from a newbie seller, who most likely will disappear from the face of the earth.

Just shows, a fool and his money....

Ok, I understand magic boxes, super fluids etc, where you have to install it round the engine and run, dreaming that the consumpion will go down. It will - all you have to do is believe ;)
I can also understand that ionizer is good for our bodies, but how come an ionizer installed in the cabin can reduce CO2 or improve power?

Does it mean that I will fart less in my car. Less farts = less CO2 & HC pollution!! And more power and torque for my missis. ;D
