Good god! I guess you have to give credit where it's due - these people have pretty incredible imaginations to come up with this crap...
"The fuel economizer is a break-through, patent-pending invention in fuel conservation. The fuel economizer will let you save on petrol just by
plugging it into your cigarette lighter socket. Your petrol consumption will decrease by 10% to 30%. The fuel economizer is fitted with an
electrolytic capacitor that connects to the cars main electrical system electronically. It acts like a small battery that helps your car's
electrical system perform better. The capacitor then charges and discharges voltage when there is heavy demand from the alternator. Instead of the
battery working overtime, the fuel economizer compensates the required voltage for devices such as lights, windscreen wipers, stereo, air conditioning
and sat nav. Instead of the alternator and battery having to work overtime, the device supplements the required voltage to reduce the load on the
electrical system from any accessory that is being used. The reduced electrical demand frees up energy that can be better used to deliver a more
constant and steady supply of electricity to the spark plugs and ignition system. The result is a more efficient and complete combustion of petrol
which will improve you gas mileage and produce cleaner emissions. This in turn WILL save you money. The blue LED will light up once the connection is
made. This tells you that the fuel economizer is silently working. "

All power in the car ultimately derives from the fuel burnt. Unless this is something that is charged externally from the car, it can only be a
further drain.
In technical terms, it's toss.
patent pending?
oh yes
what we should do is set-up something like this but instead of sending the advertised item we should send bombs to wipe them out as they are obviously to stupid to be alive.
Fcuk me!
The only possible benefit you might get from that is a few less clicks on your radio!
But you do have to wonder if we're the stupid ones for not having thought, built and sold it to the hordes of retards out there who are drawn in
I'm so getting one of these. That and my electric supercharger will make me the envy of all my friends!
Just need some magnets round the fuel pipes to co-ordinate the reticulation of the fuel molecules and you'll be zero emmision!!
What about the extra consumption of the blue LED ?

Maybe I should send them a polite email debunking everything they say and then ask them how it really saves fuel (the placebo effect causes you
to drive a little more carefully)
That bloke off Fifth Gear (who doesn't appear to be on it now, so I can't find his name ) did a programme about this kind of thing and
they found that the magnet thing did have an effect, although it was more likely through the above "placebo" effect
Oh this is going to do my head in now it's not Tiff Needell, I'm sure he was on Top Gear many years ago too...
Bingo Quentin Wilson, thank you wikipedia

I am gonna fit 4 in my volvo and then sell on the unused petrol.
Some rough calculations show me that with one of these, some magnets on my fuel lines, one of those brown's gas kits, a resistor, an electric fan in my inlet, and a windmill in my exhaust, my standard vauxhall omega 3.0 ought to top 800bhp whilst returning about 150mpg!! Where's my credit card?! And DAMN those car makers, all in cahoots with BIG OIL for trying to keep these secrets from us!!!!!!!

Hmmm, you might be on to someth...
Naaaaaaah!!
Wow - check
this one out! He sells the lot of them. LOL - If you can bare to even look at that mess for more
than 10 seconds, you'll find this little gem...
"3. If you do not have power steering you will know how the vehicle turns. Now after installing the vs39, you will notice that the steering is
much lighter when driving."
Er... huh?... words cannot describe teh stupid

Naaah couldn't get that far, the colour scheme was going to make me squinty and who uses comic sans for something like that?
Awesome!
one for the home!
Almost certainly another box-o-capacitor. 3 bonus points for explaining why it
appears to 'work' in the video

Power factor correction. A fridge is basically just an electric motor so a box of C will bring I closer in phase with V and hence lower the apparent power consumption.
