    Yeah I bought that and went from 25MPG to 70.
    Also I don't have to wash the car any more since the rays from the Neo keeps dirt off of the car.

    Thanks, dealextreme! post_thanks.gif

    I see from their blog that it helps with "jerky gearchange", it's a bloody marvelous yoke..

    Ah here does the inventor of that thing actually think we are stupid enough to believe sh*t like that works. Just before anyone else wastes their time by going to google to find out what the hell it is, its a big capacitor. That stores about 1/2 a seconds worth of energy, that isn't going to make slightest bit of difference to the fuel consumption.

    its based on the theory that "People are idiots and believe everything on the internet". The theory states no matter how stupid the idea at least .01% of internet users will believe it and hence you can make money out of it.

    The alleged science would be that having a capacitor can smooth out alternator loads.

    However, something that fits in to a device that small with a little blue light on it isn't going to do that, let alone something that costs €4!

    Assuming the worst and you only get 10% fuel savings instead of 30%, and you buy 10 of those items, your car will use no fuel at all! :D You'll have to make sure that you plug all 10 in at the same time though, other wise if you plug them in sequentially you'll only be getting 10% of the previous amount each time...
    Also, if you're lucky enough to get more than 10% saving per unit, your car will actually start producing petrol as you drive, and that's aside from the massive bhp increase!
    Just ordered 20 of them... there'll be no recession for me from now on! My plan can't fail!

    Just like a Prius. As long as you keep driving around town, it will drive on the electric motor only, costing you zero in petrol :D

    *does a Prius have a 12v socket? Could be onto making loads of money here*

    Feckin' genius brainwave here:

    Put a Neo, in a Prius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!!!

    Could put that on a dyno and produce all the worlds power for nothing.

    That would leave all the oil free to turn in to Petrol.

    I've just solved the world energy crisis :D
