:lol:

One device that actually works? The Honda City 1.3... or the Kia Picanto, or the Getz Diesel. Anything with a smaller engine.

Michelin's fuel economy tires actually save you gas because of their low rolling resistance, but it's a toss-up whether the amount of gas saved balances out the additional cost of the tires.

Guys, I just installed a device invented by one of my friend. Similar sya sa Khaos pero not that much. We installed it at talagang effective bumaba yung fuel consumption nya. This is jut my opinion pero nasa mga 100 cars na ung nakabitan nya halo ung carburator and EFI. Mine is a 1.8GL Toyota Revo and I bought it for 2k pesos only.

could it also because your driving habits have changed since you installed the device?... so how long have you been using it? a week?

can anybody share experiences on gas savers currently in the market, like Khoas. I would like to install one in my car.

Madaming threads dito about fuel savers. Just use the search function.

Here is one: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...ighlight=KHAOS

For me, fuel savers are generally crap. But it's your money. Blow it on some dumb fuel saver or just buy useful fuel or spend on proper maintenance?

Avoid it like the plague.

We have a sticky in Car Talk: Guide to Fuel Saving Gadgets

There are no known fuel savers that actually work. Take some time to look up the US EPA website. In their extensive testing, they have only found one fuel saver to work... and it does it by disconnecting the Air Conditioner pulley. In other words, to save gas, remove the aircon. (kind of useless in this country).

Also check out: Popular Mechanic's Test of Fuel Saving Gadgets (surprise, none of them work)
