Question Fuel saving devices

Hello All,

I dont want to upset anybody with this no doubt repost, but I am only new to the Forum in the last month or so. Here goes,

Does anybody have any experience of the items on Ebay etc.. that claim to increase Fuel economy in the RX-8??

Before anbody starts, I was well aware of the fuel consumption of the RX-8 when I got mine over 3 years ago and I have no complaints (apart from the $10.00 a gallon here in the UK!!!!) I just wondered if any of these gizmos where credible??

Thanks in advance.

Darran.

no they are mostly BS . Ask yourself this when you see the blurb . If it were true , why is it not already used on modern cars

These might help




They'll give you a better feel of how hard you're pushing on the gas pedal.
