They work real well. They have made the sellers lots of money!
The best way to save fuel is by properly maintaining your car, and driving responsibly. The gimmicks don't do anything other than take your money.

They normal work by shutting of fuel on the steep when you lift your foot of the throttle to go downhill the amount saved does hardly defray the cost of the fuel saver, i have fitted a few and the customer has always been disappointed at the result

Do you mean those magnetic rings, or little plastic boxes with mysterious electronics in them ?
Either way, the car industry is highly competitive and if they worked all manufacturers would fit them.
I've seen these products sold through pyramid selling, that says it all to me.
Spend the money on servicing your car.

There has been a lot of research into so-called 'fuel savers'.
Apparently, they make no difference whatsoever to your fuel consumption...

Hmmm look at it this way, they dont cost much so car manufacturers could buy them in bulk for even less. If they worked, manufacturers would be fitting them to all new cars.
Its not rocket science is it?
