MG MGA - Fuel Saver?

OK, what's this one all about? Not seen anything like it before.

Well, I have to say the presentation is magnificent. The blue ring accent thingy that complements the silver aluminum? Hell, I'll buy five.

I love this part: "...machined from precision laser cut aerospace aluminum...These are shipped flat and you do have to bend them which can be done with your hands" Yep, sounds precise to me. Sign me up. I'll pay you in the UK and you'll ship it from... Valpo? Sounds legit. Finally, a device that increases horsepower by 35% while simultaneously increasing gas mileage by 31%. They'd better keep this one a secret or auto company engineers will start putting one on ALL the cars. I wonder why they haven't done that yet?

As the used car salesman said "THERES AN ASS FOR EVERY SEAT". HIS PROMISE IS TRUE AS HE STATES "UP TO 35 HP INCREASE AND UP TO 31% BETTER GAS MILEAGE.Therefore an increase of 00000001 % will be true.

Others used to sell items like this, and you might actually notice an increase in fuel efficiency & hp, but I doubt that much. There are atomizers used in the boiler industry that do the same thing. You can make your own, all you need is something that will cause your air to become more turbulent in the intake. You can also make it out of plastic so it will "ionize" the incoming air, resulting in a better bond with the fuel.
There are a thousand different 'fuel economizers' on the market.

But wait! If you order today--this beautiful set of steak knives is also yours as our Thanks to you for purchasing!

Of course, if it worked as well as is claimed, "they" would never let it get to market. 8^)

I especially like that it will improve the shifting of your automatic transmission.

Hi Steve - not seen this before - especially not the Tornado device "as seen on TV" which is apparently not as good. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Who's going to volunteer to try it out? - cheers Cam
Cam Cunningham

Every word is true! After all, as Sandy says, they only claim that you won't get MORE than 35% more power and 31% more fuel mileage (even less power than you started with fits the claim).

Even more priceless is the "-THERE IS NO NEED TO PURCHASE THE HIGH PRICED TORNADO KIT AS SEEN ON TV, OUR PRODUCT WILL PRODUCE THE SAME FUEL SAVINGS, PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND QUALITY!!!" How can you argue with that? OF COURSE you don't need to buy the Tornado... Heck, you don't even need to buy this device, but you didn't expect them to go that far, did you?

The most important words are "up to" not "at least" this is very similar to shampoo ads on TV. They often say "up to double the strength" not "at least double the strength" people read the words and believe what they want to hear....my thoughts only.
Now have you heard about the "Energy Polarizer" this simple bolt on magnet gives up to 40% more power.
DJ Lake

A few years ago the gas saving device was to put large magnets on the fuel line near the carb. Now we have space age technology with laser cut pieces. Maybe if one put enough of these things on the car, it would be become a fuel producer and we would have to get a larger tank to hold the fuel as we drive.
Bill Haglan

Just to show that Australia has as many crackpots as anywhere else, there is an "energy polariser" on Ebay with a starting price of $500.00 but no bids, I am surprised at the lack of interest.
A 40% gain in power by "aligning the molecules of the car".
For those wishing to buy it the Ebay number is 270223390591

Worth noting the wording: "Each unit is machined from precision laser cut aerospace aluminum".

What this probably means is that the pattern is drilled and cut with a hacksaw from aluminum that was precision laser cut into 1 metre square sheets!

Well, you'll never get to own one, because the oil companies are already working to acquire the patents and take it off the market, just like they did with the 100 MPG carburetor in the 70s, and the chemical that converted water into gasoline during WWII.
