Increase your MPG by 10 to 30%!!!

>>Neo Socket is a break-through, patent-pending invension in fuel conservation.

>>invension

That's all I need to know.

Also:

>>In addition you will experience more horse power or better accelleration, longer battery life, improvements in car audio, lights, cleaner emission and decrease in static electricity.

>>more horse power or better accelleration

>>accelleration

So they say that, if I use their product, my pair of crappy stock speakers will sound like a pair of Klipsch Reference speakers? How do they "improve audio"?

Car audio enthusiasts use capacitors to filter battery fluctuations and allow for higher peak current, especially to bass, but it doesn't improve much - only lowering noise slightly, and perhaps allowing higher volume.

Do they plug them into the cigarette lighter?

Car Audio Wiring subheading 4

Physically, I think it's done as close to the amplifier as possible, but in theory anywhere with a 12V rail works, so potentially could be done through cigarette lighters presuming it's not regulated or fused with a low-current fuse. I suspect that the audiophile's capacitors are a bit more powerful, though, they use in the order of 0.5-10F, which is too large to fit in an attachment the size of the neo.

The Russians did this as a means of propulsion. I believe it was also very quiet. I know it's true because Sean Connery wouldn't lie.

I used to have a 1000W amp hooked up to 2 12" subs in my trunk. When I bought a 1 farad capacitor and hooked it up very close to my amp, it did improve the sound and it also prevented my headlights from dimming when the subs hit hard.

Those are generally too large to fit in a cigarette lighter though

What if my car doesn't have a cigarette lighter? LOL!

That product falls in the same category as the anti-arthritis bracelets and homeopathy magic!

INSTRUCTIONS:
-Plug into cigarette lighter
-Start vehicle
-Sing the power economy mantra: Aoummmmsuckermmmmmm!

Kind of reminds me of the dude who made the ebay listing of some 30x beam exander claiming it is like magic, you shine a 1W laser into it and you have a 30W power output.

People these days will think of anything to make quick cash. Except things that actually work since the effort used will defeat the 'quick' cash scenario.

Too bad, huh?

This product actually works!

It doesnt have to do with capacitors. The thing is, it will take the cigarette lighter socket, preventing you from smoking in the car. That, in turn, will prevent you from driving with the window open, which -does- result in about 10% fuel savings when driving at speed

Doesnt work for non smokers or people that have a lighter, though, but thats the smallprint.

LOL haha :crackup:

+1 for that bro!

Actually, it could be the part of that placebo effect mentioned, perhaps it really works that way :crackup:

I have found that I can improve my MPG by 18%....if I moved to a warmer area that doesn't get snow or get below 40 degrees F.

IT's kind of funny. I get
23-25MPG (mixed) in the winter
27-29MPG (mixed) in the summer.

I have a Scion TC (Manual Trans) and this is my first car where the outside temperature actually makes a big difference in my MPG. I can't quite figure it out.

Gas companies also slightly change gasoline composition during the winter

This and also one factor which is often forgotten is engine temperature dependency. Internal combustion engines (mainly NA cars) tend to produce a deal more power when the air outside is colder (denser). If the air/fuel computer isn't all that sophisticated the ratio inside the combustion chamber can fluctuate quite drastically depending on season.

Then you need to mount it across the battery terminals with a fuse.

Yah, then you get 50% instead of 20% increase
