Check this out, I happened across this little product:
Here Seems a bit suspicious, "When plugged into the cigarette power port of a vehicle, the Fuel Doctor FD-47 Fuel Efficiency Booster helps to clean and condition the electricity in the system" Not sure how that would work...cleaning electricity? I'd give it a whirl just for the hell of it, but then I'd just feel like a chump when it inevitably amounts to a placebo at best. |

outside of better sheilding, cableing and termination i dont see how this device that offers no explanation to its functioning would make enough difference to net a 15%-25% impact in fuel econ.
even with all that stuff i dont think those numbers would be possible If it charged my ipod i'de be a little more intrested This post has been edited by JasonTX: Jan 27, 2012 - 12:33 PM -------------------- JN 3:16
