Fuel-saving devices scam

By John on Thursday, June 15th, 2006 in Automobiles, Science.

U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) claims that most of the fuel-saving devices in the market are merely scam than able to extend your mileage or power bursting. There is some fuel-saving device in Malaysia selling from few hundred onwards, available in most of the car accessories shop and some direct-sale company. Some of them are clip-on module while others need a minor technical work to install it. I’m not sure if the fuel-saving device works until I get this news, but you may save more fuel by changing your driving habits

“They don’t work,” says John Millett, spokesman for the EPA. “Believe me, if it were that easy, cars would be built that way, especially the magnets and whirligig devices. It’s smart to be skeptical about any claims like that.”

The EPA to date has tested in the neighborhood of 100 gas-saving devices, the most recent at the request of the Federal Trade Commission, and only six “indicated a very small improvement in fuel economy without an increase in exhaust emissions.”

Another four also made the itty-bitty improvement cut, but per federal regulations, the exhaust emission trade-offs mean consumers who slap these on their cars could face charges of illegal tampering.
