Fuel saving gadgets - Willo - 14-11-2012
Well I've just been reading up on these on the old tinter web and was shocked to find (NOT) that most of the claims are complete boll**ks and the rest are loosely based on lies
Has anyone used or tried any personally ?

Load of bollocks... Don't waste your time.

Best gadget is driving style mate, learn to drive economically first, there's no plug and play gadgets to improve economy
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - Willo - 14-11-2012
I saw some fuel magnets on eBay so thought ill do some research on those and was shocked that most actually make emissions and economy worse
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - samass - 14-11-2012
:Lmao:
you're not serious, right? Sorry to seem harsh, but if you stop and think for two seconds, how can magnets affect fuel? Petrol and diesel are non ferrous....
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - Willo - 14-11-2012
Wasn't thinking bout getting them just saw them came up on a search while I was looking at 306 parts and because I was bored I thought I'd google them and have a read
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - Eeyore - 14-11-2012

RE: Fuel saving gadgets - samass - 14-11-2012

what? You do know that those electric superchargers do actually work? Ive seen them on loads of saxos and all the owners said they were running 200+bhp D:
proof is in the desciption!
Quote:"Once installed, every time you press your gas pedal past 50% pressure, the 20,000+ RPM motor in the intake will breathe 2- 3 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH (PSI) of super high pressure air into your engine. With the amazing burst of super pressurized air comes a nice racing sound which lets the entire competition know what to expect. Double the horsepower output of ANY normal air intake system"
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - Willo - 14-11-2012
Lmfao there's a lad down the road from me convinced his saxo us pushing 195 bhp with relit overly no mods except one of those and a universal jap back box
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - declantg - 14-11-2012
Its always the saxo drivers hahaha
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - Willo - 14-11-2012
Not always I know someone who for 3 months argued his 1.6 mondeo mk1 was 160bhp at the rear wheels
RE: Fuel saving gadgets - Dum-Dum - 14-11-2012
Best fuel saving gadget is something like a scan gauge that gives you an instant mpg readout. Does a great job of making you lift off.

That's amazing! I must get hold of one of these rwd mondeos, could be the new type 9!
Scangauges are good, particularly for use as above, but don't rely on them for research on specifics of driving style improvement - the information they use to calculate mpg doesn't always translate into the real world.

Ive found only one fuel saving device that actually works!
6 inch's of 2X4 placed under the throttle pedal
stops you hitting the smile zone on the rev counter
really improves fuel economy !

You shouldnt have said that!!

Sand in the fuel tank helps with MPG
the sand reacts causing a sandomoneum effect which enables your flux capacitor to run on full power, seperating fuel particles and adds 1000000 bhp
