Gas Saving Devices



I spotted this reprint of a Popular Science article about gas saving devices from 1968 on Jalopnik. The one gallon of gas container idea used to be a standard tool at dealers and some shops to measure fuel economy.
The author's conclusion:
"Our main conclusion is that changes in the weather made more difference in fuel economy than any of the gadgets. Beyond having negligible effects, some either improved performance at some loss of economy, or vice versa."

One reason that ineffective fuel saving gadgets are popular is the difficulty of accurately measuring small changes in the fuel economy of a vehicle. This is because of the high level of variance in the fuel consumption of a vehicle under normal driving conditions.
