    If and when your device does work (lean air fuel mix), it does save some gas.

    It will also cause a few other things too:
    -hotter combustion temperatures
    -very big increase in NOx emissions
    -motor oil degrades faster
    -engine valves gets hotter, possible damage over long run
    -detonation, engine knock, ping might occur especially on hotter days
    -possible piston head damage
    -possible piston ring damage
    -possible gasket damage
    -NOx can combine with water vapor to produce nitric acid
    -acid can prematurely degrade your expensive muffler and exhaust system.
    -increase of NOx in the air and sunlight will cause increase in smog levels
    -increase of NOx in the air will make anyone with respiratory problems worst
    -increase of NOx in the air will cause acid rain
    -acid rain can dissolve concrete and stone buildings, statues, even your car's paint job prematurely
    -acid rain can and will kill forests and rivers (if we have any left)
    Sir,

    assuming it leans a/f mixture (which saves fuel consumption), you also mentioned earlier in this thread that the ECU still have its O2 and manifold absolute pressure sensors to correct A/F... sir di po kaya the device helps the entire Fuel System achieve STOICH levels at any given state (idle, high speed, braking, gear shifting, etc) of the engine?
