The Current Regulating Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Booster is a small device to help make your car more energy efficient. The device works by regulating the current in the electronics to make sure that a stable current reaches the cars electrical control unit (ECU).
The Current Regulating Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Booster is said to help reduce the amount of fuel used by 18%. The company state that in independent tests they had run by an automotive testing service the device helped to increase a test cars miles per gallon from 28.1 to 23.8 in two weeks.
The Current Regulating Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Booster is inserted into a cars DC outlet, and comes with an adapter to give your car two DC outlets so that you can still use an outlet for another device. The device is meant to reduce the electrical interference from items such as the stereo, air conditioning or lights to make sure that the cars ECU has a stabilised electrical supply to help it achieve its most optimum working environment. As the ECU controls the cars fuel injection and ignition systems it working better helps to optimize fuel efficiency of the car.
The Fuel Efficiency Booster is meant for use in 12 volt cars that are two or more years old and is not suitable for hybrid cars. There is some speculation to its actual effectiveness (though the independent testing would suggest it is effective), as the electrical equipment should be digital and therefore fluctuations in voltage should not cause any negative effects. The efficiency booster is available for just $79.95 plus shipping.
Update 2nd June 2010: There has been considerable feedback on this product, claiming that it can’t work. I am unable to prove these claims either way, therefore I am closing comments for this post to avoid litigation issues. Most of the comments I’ve received would be ripe pickings for a litigation lawyer, so I’ve deleted and disabled them so that I don’t get sued!
Update 4th June 2010: In response to a legal request to modify a comment, I’ve decided to remove all comments on this post instead. As stated above, this is to avoid any litigation issues in the future.
