Whilst browsing the E of the BAY, i noticed this.........

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/renault-laguana-clio...1QQcmdZViewItem

As im thick, im seriously interested in saving 28% fuel. Can any of you engineers explain why this particular item would not work?

i was most disappointed when my power resistor didnt give me 30% power gains, so i dont wanna loose out again.

Thanks all :)

Its another con much like the 15bhp resistors.

If it was that good and as simple as cable tying it to the fuel line, manufacturers would be doing it on all their engines.

I explained this to my Dad, but he still bought one and found no difference in MPG whatsoever. Sure some one will claim otherwise.

But then im sure you are just having a laugh, which is all right.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Hi,
Surely if you fitted 4 to your car, the level in the tank would increase as you drove along *wink*

the only fuel saver is a well set up engine and... Your! right foot.

its a CON:

dont let anyone tell you any diffrent

like the super mega volt electronic ignitions they claim 20 MPG more

feet may be

not miles.....lol
