Yes do that aswell because when you're using extra fuel for extra Kw's you will want to save a bit of fuel.

all those petrol saving things are gimmicks.

Wheels magazine did a test on heaps of them and had a physicist check all the theories like those magnets that re align all the petrol molecules for a more efficient burn and all that. They were all absolute crap

the way to save petrol is to adjust your driving style and make sure your tires are at the correct pressure.

it worked on both my cars but the savings varied.
not bad for a $10 toy

With aftermarket ECU its useless.

Ive never tried one myself personally, but when fuel prices first jacked up and started hitting 150-160, A Current Affair did a little documentary on all fuel saving things.

This came up and it did save fuel but not as good as compared to other devices.

not bad for $10 i reckon

CBF finding the thread, juss check nine msn if anyone wants to doubt me

hahaha they rely on high fuel prices to convince people they work. You will find that when you fit one you sub-consciously drive more efficiently and then convince yourself its the piece of crap you just got ripped off by thats doing it.
