ha, those things are a joke, not only will u waste ur money, u will probably not save or waste any gas either way, u will also waste ur time installing it, then taking it out, NEVER read anything that is an ebay claim, and watch the mythbusters episode based on this, they disprove all of them, they want the theory to seem to be sound, thats how they sell them, and the module, or whatever they call it, is simply a .50c regulator that plugs into ur IAT sensor, it will throw a Check engine light, and make ur car run rich and actually lose gas mileage, from personal experince, take my word for it

Re: "Gas Savers" - Ebay?? (links inside)

Well could i possibliy loose from gambling with this 20 bucks.. Does it not make sence tho maybe the horse power gains are off but the gas saving? and the extra air it will intake will that not result in gains?

Just asking i agree tho does sound offily good to be true.

Re: "Gas Savers" - Ebay?? (links inside)

the air that is taken in will not increase, merely spin, if it does that, 20 bucks is 20 bucks, thats all u have to lose, is 20 bucks, but just think, that could be 20 bucks worth of beer, or 20 double cheeseburgers, or 10 burgers and 10 fries, or 5 burgers, 5 fries, 5 apple pies, and 5 medium drinks, but i digress, u could just send the 20 bucks to me, and i can tell u ur gas mileage is better now??? seriously tho, i would be very skeptical of anything on ebay, including headers, body kits, etc... ur better off saving ur money, buy brand name from reputable sites, ull be happier with it in the end

heres a couple:

Re: "Gas Savers" - Ebay?? (links inside)

How are you getting more air by putting a restriction in your intake? Wouldn't that mean less air? The air still goes through the same size tube, right?

What would you loose by gambling that 20 bucks? 1) 20 bucks. 2)Your manhood in a firey civic explosion of retardedness.
