With petrol and diesel prices at record levels, there is renewed interest in aftermarket “fuel-saving” devices and additives that claim to save you money at the fuel pumps.
A variety of aftermarket products — including fuel additives, magnets and air flow modifiers — claim improved fuel consumption and/or an increase in power. Some make bold claims about being able to save up to 17% on your fuel bills.
The Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works is warning motorists against using fuel-saving devices. It says these products don’t live up to their promises and are rather dangerous. The department says the only way to offer relief for consumers is slashing fuel prices.
Motorists face another steep fuel increase in the week with the latest adjustment due to kick in on Wednesday.
“These products promise the world but they don’t deliver anything and more importantly, they are dangerous, said the DA’s Ricardo Mackenzie.
