    Very informative link brader!
    but it all depends. there were studies before that proved that having your aircon off consumes the same fuel as if your aircon is on.

    because the tendency is that if your aircon is off, your windows are wide open, and it creates wind drag, which either slows down your vehicle or you press down your gas pedal to compensate. this is true if you are running more than 60 kph.

    unless, what you do is to close your aircon and close your windows shut, which turns your car into a steam room.

    imagine getting a lawyer to certify that your gas saver works thats crazy!! better get a mekaniko for more credibility

    secondly that carla suarez is not even a lawyer ahahah check out
    www.ibp.org.ph for a complete listing of all lawyers and there is no carla suarez there hahahah
    The lawyer twist is just to add that air of "credibility" to the product.

    anyway, i agree with you... they should have gotten pocholo ramirez instead to vouch effectiveness of the product.

    What I do is turn off the aircon compressor and leave the fan running, with the air vents open.

    This actually works, but the difference is very slight... almost too slight to be noticeable, unless you do the same thing in traffic, which WILL turn your car into a portable sauna. For traffic, I just find the nearest gas station and go have a nap...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I recommend energy conserving oils like Havoline Energy 5w30 or Royal Purple 5w30 or 10w30. Tested and proven to save gas.

    I'm also using energy conserving tires, Michelin Energy MX1. It seems to work but I cant really say how much it saves.

    The Uniq fuel saving device doesn't work as claimed. Save your money for something else.
