Gas fuel saver

01' yota · 09-19-2007, 06:26 PM

I just was looking on EBAY and i seen they had this thing called a gas fuel saver and it was supposed to add fuel mileage and give you more horsepower. Has anyone seen this before or do you think it's just a gimic.

Thanks

Nothing on Ebay is a gimmick. They have fraud protection!

Gimmick, all those gas savers are a waste.

not unless you use a hydrogen set up and that does work.

Ok now I've said this before and I'll say it again the only way to get better mileage is to park your rig and either ride you bike or walk. That being said I love my bike and hate walking. But my office office is 236 miles form my home office and I'm an endurance cyclist and the 472 miles a week would be good, I'll just drive and get my 17mpg. If I drive 50k this year I will have spent on average of $8823.53 on fuel. And thats just on the 4runner, not to mention the 14mpg F250.

BUY IT NOW! You've been wasting gas without one. I think the seller also has an item that can harvest methane gas in an office chair so you can use it in your truck as well.

they DO work, but not noticably. when they say an increase in gas and horsepower, they usually mean 'an increase of .01% or .02% MPG, and .004% HP..... lol

ozziesironmanoffroad · 09-19-2007, 09:22 PM

you want an increase of horsepower stop putting regular pump gas in and put in 110, or even 115, which ive seen at a couple stations out here. not legal to pump it into ur car at the gas station, but put it into a gas container, then pour it in at home. thats about the only way ull get super noticable performance in your engine without rebuilding it and putting all racing stuff in it. as far as gas goes.... as XCMOUNTAIN said, save gas by riding a bike.

YoterUp · 09-19-2007, 09:29 PM

that stuffs a joke!!!! they did actually test a carb about 12 years ago tho on a Chevy 1500 and drove it from Florida to Cali. and had a recorded 52mpg. then the government decided that it was not usable because it let out to many fumes that hurt our environment so they told the guy he couldn't mass produce it then he sold the idea to ford i believe(not sure on that one) and the idea disappeared. but just think they found a way to get 52mpg 12 years ago imagine what they can come up with now that they have not told us about!!
