I'm not familiar with this particular item so I don't know for sure, but these types of things ("fuel saving" products) are almost always scams. Unless someone reputable like an auto manufacturer, government agency or the like vouches for it, I wouldn't bother.

Nice to share the point of view and I am in HK too. I also want to install SB, but find the fuel consume is too much afterward.

Welcome to the forum Ricky I wouldn't bother with fuel savers, they are scams. If they worked the whole world would be using them. As far as the SB, if you can control your foot you should be able to get very close to the same fuel economy. I myself can't control my foot.

Hi Everybody

Car manufacturers are spending billions of dollars for development, and various reaserches. If it would be really working they would put it to our cars at the time of prduction. Look they are spending plenty of money for a various types more and more complicated fuel injection types. Why would they do that if let's say $100 so called "fuel saver" would work? Thats just my guess though.
