Snake oil. 100% snake oil.

This is so funny. I clicked on the button at the top that says how it works and this is what it says,

"Sabertec can not say with absolute certainly how or why the Blade works, as the Blade was not designed to achieve reductions of gaseous emissions or increases in fuel economy. Rather, the Blade was originally designed to filter particulate material from gasoline exhaust systems."

That's funny, "we cannot say how or why it works"????

Sounds like b.s. to me. :dance:

It looks like a bunch of BS

This is exactly my point. But it could still work.

For example, Propecia was originally a drug for enlarged prostate. When they gave it to patients they discovered that it also regrew hair on the scalp for men. They didnt know why it works, although they're several theories -but it worked.

I'm just wondering if any of you used or knew anyone who used this product.

I'm guessing that if it really does work, it restricts the exhaust, reducing power by increasing back pressure, which gives better fuel economy because the car can't exhale fully.

That's just my theory though. It might not even be accurate.

This thing looks like nothing more than a money-wasting gizmo.

You may be on to something. We might be more likely to get better mileage and lower emissions by putting Propecia in the gas tank than by using The Blade. But then there are those annoying side effects.

Don'cha just hate it when your stick shift folds over?

or starts growing hair hahaha

The testing data shows the oxygen sensor getting richer readings, the CPU then adjusted the fuel/air ratio accordingly. this is how the fuel economy is achieved. anytime you create an environment which changeds readings in the vehicles system it will have this affect

That is such a crock of poop that I am not even going to respond or reply
to it.

Oh. Wait a tic! I just did!

Darn it all.

Best,

those Tornado things to put in your intake tract. That's sure to help out
