i think to save the petrol use, at least must add something to the petrol (mix with something) then the quantity of petrol used would be less.. this is the true saving for less fuel usage, i think.

example, let say a driver always want to go 0-80kmh in 8 sec at traffic light. then one day he add a fuel saver device. but if he still with his old habit..i dun think any fuel would be save..still, maybe there is... but too little to notice..

conclusion, change of habit would make a lot of change..and its free..

can i say its b*llshit...for example those voltage stabilizer stuff...i duno how a small little plastic filled with capacitor can claim to give fuel efficiency...if in terms of better voltage supply/distribution..den maybe so...haha..even if there is fuel efficiency, how much fuel can be save??..if you wanna save petrol, best is control how you drive..for example, freeing gear on the way down hill, not switching on ac when driving early morning, and control that damn right foot..my 2 cents of answer...

Er..You guys read the website or not?

Summary of Website: The EPA PROVES it does NOT work (most of them).

So in Malaysia scene, same goes to Cyclone, Magnetic Fuel Saver, PCV Air Bleeder (ie, micro-kompressor hahahahahahahhahaha), Voltage Stabilizer, K2N magic stones (hahahaha), and others.

gas does get burnt but it lacks the powerful combustion of petrol as comparison. top end performance does get affected.

The bulk of a typical gasoline consists of hydrocarbons with between 5 and 12 carbon atoms per molecule.
Many of these hydrocarbons are considered hazardous substances and are regulated in the United States by Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Material Safety Data Sheet for unleaded gasoline shows at least fifteen hazardous chemicals occurring in various amounts. These include benzene (up to 5% by volume), toluene (up to 35% by volume), naphthalene (up to 1% by volume), trimethylbenzene (up to 7% by volume), MTBE (up to 18% by volume) and about ten others.[7]


Liquified petroleum gas, or compressed natural gas has a reduced combination mixture of the above, so to speak as I am not a specialist on chemistry LOL.
