Has anyone heard of a device called Fuelstar? www.fuelstar.com

The web site says you can run unleaded instead of super and still get better gas milage and lower emmission and runs engine cooler and better for your engine .. and .... and ....... !

I am thinking of buying this and putting it one my 88 260e. Just wondered if someone else has had any experience with it.

I drive 700 miles a week and need to cut my gas bill or I am going to have to get a new more efficent car if the price of gas keeps going up.

Hmmmmm. High fuelprices always seem to bring out the Nutcases & their 100 mpg carburetors.
Do you really think if these things worked ( cleaner emissions, better mpg., lower grade fuel required ), the OEM's would not use them ?

Look into buying a diesel. Nice MPG, a w123 or w126. w123 is not a luxury (have 300D Turbo) as the w126 (own 300SE) the w123 saves me a lotta gas...

I got a pyramid that sits in my trunk over the gas tank that energizes the fuel and it gets me 68MPG. I put my golf clubs next to it and I get an additional 60 yards on my tee shots.

I'll second that !

Most of those gizmos and gadgets don't really work.It looks like this one is another of those inline fuel(ionizers,stabelizers,molecular structure of fuel improvers).They pop up every few years,and they're all just magnets.Whenthey do work,what's actually going on is the magnet is attracting the rust particals in the fuel system and causing a fuel restriction.Which leads to you'r engine running leaner.Slightly leaner fuel mixture can increase you'r mileage and power.But you'll burn you'r exhaust valves out and cause premature wear on the engine.Vapor carburators actually do work and give unbelievable fuel mileage.100-200 and more miles per gallon on big full sized cars.But you need pure,raw gasoline for them to work long term.I believe all modern gasoline has oil that has been molecularly cracked to create more gasoline mixed in.You try vaporizing the cracked oil,and you get a tar residue left over.These carburators worked great back in the 1920's and 30's when you bought raw gasoline with no addatives or fuel cracking to increase gasoline production.And even though they did really work back then,the car makers never installed them.Yes there still are super high effiency fuel systems around that do work with modern fuel.And the car manufacturers know about them,because they own the patents by hostile acquisition.THIS is not an urban legend.They could be building 300 mpg cars today.I don't know why they don't.But I personally know of at least two carburator designs belonging to one of Americas big three auto makers that are real.And the inventor of one of them who I used to know personally was threatened to sell his patent to them or he and his family would disapear.Yes he sold to them,but he doesn't dare ever tell anyone about his design.I knew about it before the patent.
