tablets to save petrol

bfocusd

Anyone ever seen these before?
I assume is supposed to be similar to red x?

Tablet form seems unusual, wouldn't want it to clog up the engine.

And the government isn't forcing oil companies to put these chemicals into petrol because.....

Increased power and increased MPG doesn't make sense.

It's 1 tablet per 100 litres, if anyone wants to donate 100 litres I will take the risk and test it out..

You'd be just as well putting dishwasher tablets in. Much cheaper too.

I saw something like this a few years ago have no idea if it could work though, but for some reason doubt their usefulness

In a well functioning engine all fuel additives are a complete waste of money and do nothing to increase fuel consumption.

The fact that the ad posted has 1/100l and the EnviroTab site has 1/60l leads me to believe it's a snake oil.

You'd be better off empting the boot, checking your tyre pressures every day and reading the road so as to avoid braking.

only use if your car has a headache

The package is quite cheap and shabby looking compared to the one shown on the website.
it's basically a re-seal plastic pocket with a sticker..

tablets, magnets, that thingy you put in the 12v socket are all bogus

expect more gimmicks to hit the market as fuel prices rise

Can I interest you in some magic beans OP?

Seriously though, dieting tablets are the answer!
Less weight = greater MPG, faster acceleration, better handling etc.

Read the notice on the bottom of the packet for this thing, it blatantly is a warning against anything to make the car efficient, as it can cause damage..

Im not planning on buying this either, I just think it's hilarious to think a tablet would clean the fuel and make more burn

It's bull****, save your money.
Unless you can find a reputable review, and I don't mean www.envirotabsreview.com

Will work just as good as this technique

The only tablets that'll save petrol are slimming tablets.

They look like the latest product to be released by JML.......

A friend of mine encouraged me to try the EnviroTabs from Greenfoot Global. He is a distributor and he makes money if he gets people to sign up as distributors. The marketing side look very impressive.
I bought one kit with 28 tablets. I did two trail runs taking note of miles driven for liters of diesel in the tank.
I then started using the EnviroTabs (double doe the first time). I may as well use my 28 tabs anyway (1 tablet for 30 liters of fuel). However, I don't see that they are making any difference.
Hoow could 1 pea sized tablet treat 30 liters of fuel. I would love to see some independent reviews.
