My reply:
Sorry, I work with engineers and scientists on proven "viable" options for saving fuel.
This is a "snake oil" scam. Like magnets or the "tornado" they have a negligible impact on fuel efficiency that is typically driven buy the user knowing they have the “snake oil device” installed on there vehicle. It is a placebo effect….Because the new user thinks they have a “fuel saver device” installed they drive more efficiently. The average user can save increase fuel efficiency 20-30% simply by driving more efficiently (DAHHH).
After awhile, the person forgets they have the “snake oil device” and their fuel efficiency returns to normal.
Examples:
• Set cruise at 55-60 constant.
• Don’t tailgate.
• Coast 300 yards to each stop (huge savings)
• Keep car tuned & tires filled (alignment helps)
• When possible accelerate smooth and constant with RPMS never exceeding 1500-2000.
I do have FREE and recommended items that REALLY increase MPG 5-10 points that are proven and in use on “real world” cars and trucks.
I also submit my findings to outside expert scientists for testing too assure quality and NON-bia results.
If claims and test results are not verified by an outside expert source… one should only presume it is a “snake oil device”.
My personal thought is that this comment was posted by the same person making the claims on the “snake oil device”. At website http://kbgk.com/
emissioncontrol@kbgk.com
PLEASE let me know if I am wrong or inaccurate in any statements I have made.
I would be more than happy to challenge the owners of this device to submit it to our panel of scientists at the “alternative fuel research board” for a real trial. If it TRULY does work, NO company would refuse a viability study.
Email me if you want the list of 20 things you can do to make any vehicle increase fuel efficiency 4-10 mpg (consistently). NO SMOKE, NO MIRRORS – Just legitimate ways to save a little here and there.
Thanks sooo much for replying to my posts.
