Re: Better Fuel Consumption Device...
Reading the internet page article I am not sure what the "coloidal zinc particles" would do to the sparkplugs and cat-converter.

Re: Better Fuel Consumption Device...
Wow, so you're saying that your fuel economy is better with towing a trailer than without??!!??
I am getting confused with all these km/l figures and it would be helpful if you can give us the LT/100kms instead for each fuel tank you have experimented.
My calculations based on the figures you provided suggests the following:
Before fitting the fuel saver, your consumption was 11.45LT/100kms
1st fuel tank 11.19LT/100Kms
2nd fuel tank 10.97LT/100kms

The ECU would have adjusted itself already by now.

If you blank off half of the air intake, your mileage will see a consistent improvement.
It's possible, but you won't be getting as much power and torque as you normally would with proper air intake.
There is a fine balance between saving fuel and having power and they go hand in hand.
A fuel SAVING device simply does NOT exist, if it did, car manufacturers will be on top of it before you and I even know it. What you can get is devices and gadgets that would increase power and leave no impact on fuel consumption, which in theory is considered "saving fuel"
