Fuel saving gadgets

[Willo]

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 ?

[Jake]

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

[samass]

Best gadget is driving style mate, learn to drive economically first, there's no plug and play gadgets to improve economy

[Willo]

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

[samass]

: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....

[Willo]

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

[Eeyore]

yep theyre all bollox!

[samass]

Fair enough!
If you do want to look into worth while fuel saving mods, look over at ecomodder.com, some interesting, proven stuff there, along with tips and tricks.

This is the one I found

Cool ill take a look anything to save a bit of cash to sort the state out I was looking for window tints for the estate part of the car where the dog goes

[Eeyore]

unbelievable that they sold 65 of them D:

"magnetohydrodynamics"................................

:facepalm:

Sam, you'd be surprised at how many mugs there are out there, at least the op did some research before wasting money!

This made me laugh I didn't need to look this one up

My dad bought a 'fuel magnet' from the pound shop!
Not sure what he was expecting tbh! Lol

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!

"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"

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

[declantg]

Its always the saxo drivers hahaha

Not always I know someone who for 3 months argued his 1.6 mondeo mk1 was 160bhp at the rear wheels

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 !

My pug is better on fuel than the golf I had before it

[Matt]

Best fuel saver. Remove the throttle cable

[Ben Jay]

my uni will be on 5th gear soon showing most of the products. such as magnets on the fuel lines etc.

one of my lecturers proves how full of shit it all is!

You shouldnt have said that!!

awaits tom's response!

[declantg]

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

Why ?

[CJ_Derv]

[Willo]

That econodders website is quite good some mental ideas though
