hey everyone
what do you think of those fuelsaver thingamajigs that supposedly increase you fuel economy by spreading the fuel particles evenly. do these magnet things really work? and are they worth the $20?

got a link?

sounds like S**T already though

bit like Hiclones and electric superchargers.

one thing that i have seen work is a substance called Automax Nanotech Fuel Enhancer (or something similair)

my boss has used it and kept regularily seeing an extra 100km out of his tanks.

If it sounds like its a steal, it probably is!

LOL WTF...

it looks so simple to use and fit and blah blah blah.

so why arent manufacturers using it as standard then. people are attracted to decent power and good fuel economy and if it does what it claims then itd surely be something they couldnt pass up?

i dunno. im very skeptical

yeah its sounds legit..but on the other hand...it doesnt haha.
im thinkin of maybe putting the $20 into it and see how it performs and post up my result on here.
or has anyone else on this forum heard of this and bought it?

i had a hiclone. It did improve fuel economy slightly and it could have had a tad better pick up. Wasnt really worth the $150(i think) i payed for it.

Back in 1987 Peter Brock had the Energy Polariser put on the VL Group A Plus packs and other HDT cars. It is a magnet in a box and did nothing for the car. The idea is nothing new and people are still being taken for a ride with promises of a better and more efficient system.

They are a complete con.

Just like Firepower - an scientifically ludicrous fraud

The only 2 real ways to increase economy is to either go very lightly with the right foot or leave the car in the garage, all those additives are a con ........... save your money and spend it on something worthwhile for your car.
