I have to say that it works for the noise of the engine but I had not any improvement in fuel consumption ! My Prius hybrid has been always near 4.2 liter for 100km and it stayed before and after the usage, no difference even after 4000km after using the tribotex”

There is also a spritmonitor link:

(May not be the same guy, but apparently Prii drivers keep better track of their FE.
Hm, so it doesn't work for something he's equipped to measure (gas mileage read out), but does work for something he's not equipped to measure (engine noise).
