Gas-saving car gadgets blasted by APA chief
The Automobile Protection Association says investing in gas-saving automotive accessories is a bad bet. In a 15-page report Philip Edmonston faults 16 devices sold in Canada or US only and notes no independent tests prove claimed fuel savings or emission improvements. He cites fines against 11 Canadian devices under the Combines Act and urges drivers to change habits or choose efficient options instead.
