    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.. :D

    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? :p

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

    The only real way to save money is washed diesel, its proven to save up to 150 million euro a year according to TV3!

    All I can hear is the Calgon ad..........

    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 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭Cionád

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Fiona


    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.
