Blade - lower emissions, higher gas mileage
by rd @ 9:44 am post a comment »
Here’s a device from Sabertec designed to reduce your car’s toxic emissions while simultaneously increasing your gas mileage. The Blade is a filter that when retro-fitted onto your exhaust pipe can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 12%, increase your gas mileage by as much as 6 mpg and significantly reduce the carcinogenic particulate material being burped out of your tailpipe. It works better on cars built after 1996 that have catalytic converters.
You can see the amount of toxic crap the device removes from your exhaust by comparing the before-and-after pix of the filter (above). The company has the backing of the EPA and has done extensive testing to back up its claims.
Oh, the kit comes with a couple of years worth of filters. Under normal driving conditions you’ll have to replace the filter ($20) every 10k miles or so in newer cars and more often if you drive an old Studebaker or other pre-1996 era set of wheels.
Interesting.
