PeteA Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well I guess it saves the load the alternator would be putting on the engine but for the amount of braking you do, its still gash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think you will find it will have a slightly smaller alternator which will as a result cause less loading on the engine and as a result save 'some' fuel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I saw that advert and have to say that I thought much the same thing myself. Sure to sell some on this as jumping on the great 'green' rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
