Fuel Saving device for our Vr's?

[amazak 3]

Seen this on ebay, now I know there are plenty of these devices out there, but has anyone ever tried these so called new "far-infrared" thingy's?

errrr i dont no about you mate but i didnt buy a 2.8 v6 golf to save fuel lol,

if its mpg's your worried about id sell up and buy a tdi

[amazak 3]

Now where is the fun in that??? But I see your point lol.

If it was that good, it would be standard by now.

after reading that it seems that all it does is ionise the fuel particles?? surely for better combustion it would need to be finely misted in area and not particle arrangement?

why not buy one and do a review

[amazak 3]

I might consider that, as my averages 15 mpg as I only drive it 8 miles in traffic everyday. So if it does not affect the performance and increases MPG then worth a try.

philbatesvr6,

Do the alloys in your sig have a polished lip?

[rodney 17]

don't use your right foot is the only way to save fuel mate

I would be worried about sticking any product on my car described as "mega"

smiles per gallon mate.... forget the fuel costs!

lol how's it going to emit a far infrared field without a power source? There is a tiny bit of technical merit in magnetic versions of these things which have been proven to work in preventing limescale build up within hard water areas for domestic water and heating and might actually clean up a fuel path when used on a car - similar to detergents in that it will help improve mpg on a dirty engine until it gets clean.

But that advert says magnetic solutions don't work and instead choose something that normally requires a great deal of power to generate and cooling to deal with... what you have there is a perpetual power source in an easy fit tube.

I'm *cough* sceptical.

Ok so the genreal opinion is that this bit of kit is a joke...... :$

no harm in trying, you can always get your money back if your not happy.

You dont alway need to power infra red. it is radiation. Think of think about submarines that stay out for months not needing any fuel.

best way to save petrol is to keep of the loud pedal or noty drive it like a loon all the time

LOL yeah but thats not possible

Well, no fuel apart from the moderately sized lump of uranium sitting in the fission reactor.

I'm pretty sure anything able to store enough energy to give off far infrared radiation without a power source wouldn't either be safe or legal. Far infrared is normally associated with lasers (lots of power and cooling required) or with travelling radiation from stars (petty big bangs required) it doesn't really capture and sit in a substance very well unlike for instance a magnetic source.

However, you can always suck it and see, stranger things have happened.

PS Don't suck it... just in case it is radioactive and from the former USSR. +o(

Edited for spilling

Sounds just like what some little cockney wide boy tried to flog me whilst at MPH at the NEC the other week....I listened to his 'spiel' and my god it was 'spiel'...£99 for a magnet...err no thanks!
