Default Did anybody try this - 09-23-2006 , 06:17 PM






The other day our local TV station had a report about a fuel saver device
that works. Did anybody try this? They are not cheap and any info would be
helpful http://www.ecofuelsystems.com/ and
http://kvbc.com/Global/story.asp?s=5446914

Assuming 10,000 miles/year @ 23 mpg @ $2.50/gallon, you'll spend $1,087.00
per year for gas.

Their website claims 6~8% savings so at 8%, you'll save about $87.00 per
year. Given the $400.00 cost (does that include installation?), the
breakeven point is 4 1/2 years (45,000 miles) - if the claims are true.

Actually the price is "between $100 and $400" I am not sure about
installation costs. It may be OK if the price is about $200. I will call
them tomorrow and check out the details. My gas cost is about $1500/year.
At $200 and %6 savings the break even point is slightly over 2 year.
Will report on the results later.
