Looks like a poor man's Hi-clone.

You can probably make one yourself.

If these things worked, wouldn't vehicle manufacturers fit them themselves?

After all, most designers try to make their engines as fuel efficient and with greater bhp wherever they can with lighter materials, variable valves etc. Surely if they could get those kind of gains with a bit of cheap plastic, they'd already be installed as standard.

The "increase your mpg with magnets" the same seller has don't work either. I got hold of one for free and despite keeping meticulous mpg figures, it made no difference whatsoever.

I tried some of that Wynns fuel saver on my last oil change.  Made the LSE as bit quieter but that could have been the new oil.  As for MPG, NOWT.

I've discovered a way of saving a few quid over the course of 3,000 miles, and a bit fo fuel too, I don't drive to Halfords and I don't buy tins of stuff that claim to make my car more economical.  I win twice over with that stratergy :D
