new device out that saves gas, any good? (fuel doctor - fd-47)

There is no such thing as easy efficiency. If it's too good to be true, then it is too good to be true.

Either invest in instrumentation that will provide instant feedback on efficiency and/or change your driving habits to increase overall efficiency.

I then upped all tires to 50 psi and had two more tanks in a row over 40.

Had my best trip yesterday of 125 miles of combined mileage and was showing 43.6 on the UG.

Trust them when they say those silly devices EDIT DON'T WORK aren't needed.

Bharvey, you were doing great....
until the last 2 words

Really though, thanks for the kind words. This has to be one of the most helpful, humble, knowledgeable, articulate bunch of posters I know.

I have 10+ hear old Ericsson mobile phone charger that plugs to cigarette ligter and it has 2 leds. It is probably more useful even if i dont have phone that can be charged using it.
I can sell it about 35$
It puts out 7 Volts - at least it can be used as power source.

Fixed it!

Can't really blame anyone for wanting an 'easy fix'. But since a gas, diesel, hybrid, electric or any combo all show that driving more efficiently gets you farther, it makes it easy to see that the driver is what needs to be fixed.

I'll make this offer again.

Send me $59.99 and I'll send you this tricolored energy focusing amulet that you hang from your rearview mirror.



It is proven to harness the cosmic radiation from the huge pool of energy that powers Galactic Space, Dark Matter, and transform it into a usable form that makes your car run better, tires will last longer, you can safely go 20,000 miles between oil changes, and bugs will clean off your windshield with ease.

And if you act now, as a special bonus, I'll have it blessed by a local Witch Doctor! (Chicken blood will be completely removed prior to shipment)



This will double or triple the effectiveness of this rare amulet! You may never have to buy another tank of gas again!!

ACT NOW!!!! (Due to high worldwide demand, Di-Lithium prices may rise significantly and we cannot guarantee this price!)

Sounds like they are selling a voltage conditioner ... only problem is the car is designed and can handle fluctuating electrical currents that is what the voltage regulator is for, no matter if it is in the alternator or mounted on the firewall you are covered ... If you are getting electrical noise through your car stereo speakers this may help eliminate that... but so would a new set of spiral wound spark plug wires

Already busted this device in another thread:

man, that was kinda fun!!!!!

[ChazInMT]

You'd have to watch out for the Borg zipping about in TransWarp space, I'd leave the magnets off the wrap plasma injectors for that reason alone.....getting assimilated will really ruin your plans for the future.

Instead, just put a TornadoAir Plasma Version in the area just aft of the injectors, you'll find you can reach warp 9.98 without even needing any extra power rerouted to your structural integrity field.

Just sayin.
