a fuel saver!? right..... so me doing about 27/28 mpg over other people 35ish mpg driving normally, sum how i think it dont work.

cheers.



whats other peoples thoughts on these? do they work? should i go back to standard?

 

[ben_r1]

Lol i didnt say they worked.

If they did im sure the car would have left the factory with one fitted in the pursuit to help it lower emissions.

P.S putting a magnet on your fuel line doesnt help either lol.
