Fuel economy

[Bishbashbosh]

Hi, has anyone fitted one of those spider modules or similar that are supposed to improve performance and economy? If so was there much improvement? Or are they a bad idea altogether?

Welcome to the forum!

I don't know the answer but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to help.


Thanks,

Hello, my name's Andy. Sorry, but I missed your's.

I have a spider in my rear view mirror housing. Makes feck all difference to my fuel consumption. Actually, I suppose the weight of it will have increased the fuel consumption slightly.

Hi, do you have a link to what you mean? I don't think anyone (including me) knows what you are referring to.

You might get better fuel economy if you make the truck lighter.

When you're driving does it pop out and scare you?

The spider I mean.

I have seen magnetic coils and things people wrap around their fuel pipes to polarise the fuel which is supposed to help it burn more efficiently therefore reducing the need for a 'heavy right foot' but as they only seem to be available from 'Honest Dave' at the local market I decided to leave it well alone!

It's £50 and comes with a full refund warranty if it doesn't work but I think he only goes to each market once so good luck finding him!!

It did the first few times. It's taken to spinning a wee bit of web and swinging about a few inches below the mirror. Must be one of them thrill seeking spiders?

He he....... Crazy fools!! Ok, I couldn't find the right module on the 'spider' website but 'tunit' have one for 4hundredandsomething squid on theirs - www.tunit.com

As an antidote to the flippant replies, I would say you will NEVER make the Surf economical, and there are a lot of snakeoil sellers out there who will promise you things like 20% increases in fuel economy. Thats just daft. It weighs 2 tonnes, is as aerodynamic as Chaka Khan, and the engine design predates WW2 (possibly)

Pump your tyres up (road tyres if you're a bit of a girl and value mpg above all else), service the truck properly with quality bits and grin and bear 25mpg.

So when are you going to get another Surf the Andy ?
