ya.... the best way to reduce FC is to change ur driving syle or pattern..

regarding these petrol saver product... there's one japan company named Top Fuel is producing it.. which costs around RM400... n to my suprise, i saw this product in one of the two Mutiara Motors' Silvia-s reviewed by Hypertune....

the word "feel" is highly doubtful ler.. not that we dun wan believe ppl who claim such power increase lar.. but everything is about "proof" what.. need dyno sheet XD... and biggest prob is usually no one want to go dyno ler..

 

[juniorkirk]

It's all in the advertising. They know what you guys want so they say it and you believe it and buy their products. In short, they tell you what you want to hear.

Have you disassembled a microcompressor before? There is absolutely nothing inside that can make an engine run better.

 

[b00n]

it's only a myth that the product works.....
but for old cars, it'll probably work cos cars ages before doesn't have the technology yet....but nowadays, cars comes with ISDL, VVTI, DVVT.........all this are to save FC.

me and my friends used to joke around on this........if you install 10 of the fuel saver thing, does it means that you can basically have full tank everytime!?!?

yeah driving style!!.......change driving style....with the recent oil price increase; I still see many motorist revving like mad on the roads.......guess they have many of this "technology" installled in their car.
