It's like a stator that you put into your air hose after the air filter and it is suppose to create a vortex swirl. I'm currently trialling it. The dude that sells it gave me a 60-day trial period. I took KayJay for a 1200km trip over easter (that's just 1-way and I didn't even leave the state. We have pretty big states here in oz) and and it didn't seem to make any difference. Mind you, when I first put them on I did 10.5l/100k's around town & about 9.3l/100k's on the freeway, which was spectacular. Then I tried putting a second one downstream then I took it off again, now I can repeat it. I'm stuck on about 11/12.5l/100k's highway/city driving.

So I put the pedal to the floor, pulled out infront of the car... the engine almost red lined and I almost got hit cause the friggin jeep did not move forward. It's like a barking dog that has no teeth.
I blame this on a 4 speed auto trans. I almost feel it would pay off (in a year or two) to try and locate a 5 speed, then try and sell the 4 speed. I wonder how much that would cost.

There are a lot of products out there that say that they will increase power, mileage, etc. I don't know if australia has anything comparable to the EPA, but here in the US the EPA hasn't approved ANY of those devices as having made a significant impact on gas mileage. Pretty much the only results they get are placebo. Good that you can get your money back for it, though, are you going to?
crazylimited said:what is the volumn of the tank?
yesterday the pointer showed 1/4 of the fuel remaining in the fuel tank, I made the tank ful with 45 liter, so my tank is roughly 60 liter, is that correct?
Ouch. Something is wrong there unless you drive like a bat out of hell. =P~ From my experience, the 3.7L won't even reach full mileage potential until about 10-12k.Transporter said:Ok, I'm getting less than 16mpg. I have the 3.7. My driving is probably 50/50 city/highway. Is there something I can check myself or is a trip to the dealership in order?
