Does anyone know if this is worthwhile? And if it is, I wonder why the technology's not being used by car manufacturers (unless something to do with patenting...)

Try a search (top of the page) on ecotek and you'll get oodles of posts on the subject.

In summary, the gist seems to be: if it's so good the car manufacturers would install them.

Is this the product that is being promoted in todays Sunday Times motoring section as the 'one that really works' ??

Snake oil is the word that comes to mind.

The following link will take you to a brief discussion on another bit of 'wizardry' - the Br*q**t device. Ecotek may or may may not be in the same grey area.

Read and decide for yourselves. It is fair to say that some magnetic devices may work in that they have been tried on animals (arthritic joints etc) and seem to work. The animal presumably does not know what the effect is meant to be so any apparent improvement may be 'real'.

I was wondering if the sunday times are going to stand by their statement that it really works. But most of what they write in the motoring section is utter s**te, so I don't see why this should be any different.
