By using the VIABTOR you can contribute to solving the huge problems the world is facing today: climate changes, pollution and CO2 emissions.

The VIABTOR is an electronic device that fits into to the 12V socket of the cigarette lighter in your car. The VIABTOR works by stabilizing the electrical circuit of the car thereby optimizing the injection and combustion process of the engine.
Comprehensive tests show that from the moment the VIABTOR is fitted the car becomes more fuel efficient and produces less pollution. The VIABTOR requires no maintenance and has no influence on the other electrical units and systems in the car.

Not car related, but those power bands that people wear on their wrists. Similar to that product, they supposedly balance electrical currents in the body and make you stronger. Or some st like that.

I'm going to go old skool on this one:
The time honored eBay resistor chip.
Because a £4 chip shorting out your MAF/ECU/battery will yield 25bhp and 25% better MPG.

How about the "Universal Turbo Supercharger, Air Intake Fuel Saver Turbonator Fan"
Available on ebay for a bargain price of 16 quid:



What an awesome piece of kit. I'm not sure what a "turbonator" is but I know I want one!!

ETA:

The manufacturer claims the following:

"This Dual Blades Fuel Saver Turbonator Fan provides a more dynamic control over the intake system by forcing powerful airflow into the combustion chamber at a high speed.

Once the engine is started, the propeller spins to create a maximum turbulence in the incoming airstream to allow for enhanced fuel atomization in the combustion chamber, resulting in significant increase in horsepower and better gas / fuel millage.

With simple installation steps, you can enjoy going faster and furtherer whilst saving gasoline all at the same time!"

Wow, better fuel millage, added turbulence and going furtherer. Sounds like a winner!!

It's unbelievable! I am truly amazed

I cant remember the name of them but those stupid magnets that people have clamped around their fuel pipe.
According to a guy I know who has had one for years,which he swaps from old car to new car when he changes cars it has increased his economy by about 30%,yeah righto!
What he dosn`t know is that for the last 4 years and last 3 cars hes had just a plastic cover cable tied to his fuel pipe,the magnets have been on my metal memo board since,he swears it still workssmile

Well, maybe. But fit them and let me know how you get on with them. That's if you're still here to tell me.
