logged into my ebay just then and theres a new link called "personalised picks" so I clicked onto it and it just comes up with some items which 'might interest me'.

one of the item was a 'fuel petrol' saver mand it claims to save you 27% more petrol...

Or the alternative view: if it improved fuel consumption and cost $20, why isn't it fitted to new cars? Reason: POS.

There's one called FuelStar made in NZ which they swear black and blue does save fuel, but again, why don't car manufacturers fit it as standard?

Hey, isn't this fuel polarizer the same one which ended the Peter Brock / Holden relationship in 1988?
