not sure, but i am curious if extremes in weather conditions adversly affect the performance of this device, its been bitterly cold so i wouldnt be suprised if that affected the collars given that they rely on heat to deliver fuel savings. Im about to start trials on Tank 2 and see how many k's i get out of it. From the first tank i got about 570kms thats mostly suburban driving and the odd freeway trip. My driving routine -ie where i travel to is pretty much the same from week to week.

Someone should do before and after dyno tests on all this fuel saving crap once and for all... test the magnets, fuel tablets, hiclones, vaporate etc...

its all crap if you ask me, they would be OE on cars if they were that fantastic.

that's fair enough but have you heard of http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FUEL-SAVER-Fo...QQcmdZViewItem ?
heaps of people have given positive feedback with actual results stating the change in litres/km that resulted from using the fuel saver magnet

Vaporate have gone into receivership and have recalled all products in stores. We had to send back all the kits we had in stock.
