WUSBDesign

Spotted a few of these interesting devices:

Is this already discussed? Is this thing for real?

i think if it was that easy and cost so little then these would be fitted as standard on all cars by the manufacturer
so id say its a scam

That's what I thought, but a guy wearing a tinfoil hat told me that the big oil companies snapped up the rights to them to protect their own interests. And anyway, if they prevent carbon deposits and save your catalytic convertor and O2 sensors, the car companies would be losing out on parts sales, so they wouldn't fit them either.

As soon as my magic beans arrive these are next on my shopping list.

This is SERIES X-T, meaning you get 6 magnet clamps, 2 yellow, 2 red and 2 green!

Well .. reading that statement .. its 6 magnets ?

You could buy magnets anywhere...

Oh .. Apparently the color makes a difference too .. perhaps Petrol doesn't like orange magnets.

Its along the lines of that car that runs on water, or pills that will make your penis much larger.

You have to put then in the correct order as well, it doesn't work otherwise. thats when they get you for another €20 to get the order combination:D:D

Actually, I have some magazines that do that.

Orange magnets aren't liked by some petrol and diesel cars but this seems to only occur in Northern Ireland!

Yes it has been discussed and no, they don't work. See:snake oil.

A previous owner put something similar on my Capri!

They don't do any harm , but it still drinks petrol when I put my foot down.

Yea, scam is the first thing my mind came to when I saw this, but I thought I'd post this and find out what people conclude from the colours in this device. Never thought this is related to a penis or the impact of orange(s) on its virility though...

Instead of taking the pills, you'd be better off hanging the magnets off it....


Didn't Mythbusters do an "analysis" once of all these "fuel saver" technologies?

AFAIR the result was.... none of them work!

Efficient use of the engine and keeping it well serviced and not using energy devouring devices like airco too often saves a lot more juice than any of those yokes ever will.

Warning: These magnets damage your credit card. YMMV.

They did harm to the wallet of the person that paid for them!

They work, you shower of closed minded cynics, anyone actually tried them?

I have had magnetic fuel savers on my cars for over 4 years now, and yes they do work, very well.

Why do you think that car manufacturers make cars to be fuel efficient when the opposite is actually true?

Historically, patents for fuel-saving devices invented by car manufacturers and inventors have been bought by oil companies so that the technology would never see the light of day.

It's rarely as simple as you think, dumbasses.

I get 700km + from a tank on my Accord. Do I use a Fuel Saver?

Me Ar$e they work
