Platinum Fuel Saver

[cowboyjack999]

I have bought and installed one of the Platinum Fuel Savers and had excellent results. My baseline MPG before installation was 16.2 and now it is 19.7. I drive a 2003 Toyota Tundra V8.

What I wanted to know is if anyone else has tried the Platinum Fuel Saver and what their results were?

cowboyjack. Man, a name like that deserves this:
'26 Songs of the Old West' CD. Great old songs.

PM your mailing address and it will be on the way. I'm your neighbor in Colorado.

OK, I'll bite.....What is the "Platinum Fuel Saver"?

The "Platinum Fuel Saver" is a device that adds platinum into the combustion chamber to increase combustion efficiency. It supposed to burn any unburnt fuel, similar to what your cat converter does.

I haven't tried it, but this article has some food for thought;

Basically, it says that the Platinum Fuel Saver doesn't do anything.....

I've seen a lot of snake oil over the years. If this is another I don't know but I'd suggest buyer beware.

Yeah I remember seeing this stuff as a gas additive years and years ago at Walmart - platinum is a great catalist and the only real question is there really platinum in the juice" that they are selling. Getting 19.6mpg is about normal for that truck BTW and 16 is low. My friend has sold his old 12 year old Tundra for a newer one with the smaller V8 and he is still getting about 19mpg and doesn't baby it. He does however tow a lot of stuff and the big cab that seats 5 adults is the main reason for the upgrade.
