Default Whats your thoughts on this fuel saver device?

www.magnoflow.com.au

Does anyone know anyone one that has tried it or uses it?

If I knew for sure get 7% plus more power & 10% plus more economy I would go for it.

Ok. I know poopie about car mechanics, but I personally don't believe it.

With Ford and Holden both trying to make their cars far more fuel efficient, if such devices actually worked, they would be standard equipment I would have thought.

Testimonials don't matter much to me. I am sure people had a similar opinion on Pyramid as well.

But I would like to be proved wrong.

If it works so well why don't the car manufacturers fit it as standard equipment!?

This has to be the best advice I have seen yet.

A slightly more expensive option is to get a dedicated gas Falcon, but at least this way no matter how hard you push the throttle it only costs 60c a litre to fill

I would have have strongly considered it if Falcon offered dual fuel. Also from what ive read on LPG forum on ere is the E Gas set up on the Falcon is old skool gas technology. Only ever had one car on dual fuel V8 VH SLE & it was great to have ability to use both fuels.
