It'll be installed on a Prius of all things which I believe has all sorts of measurey things to tell you how many km's per litre, litres per 100km etc etc etc.
Currently monitoring and recording fuel use over the next 10,000km or so without it and will do the same once it is installed.
I suppose its not controlled conditions but better than talking trash.

Okay so he recorded 9000km worth of fuel usage etc before installation, and so far we are 4000km into fuel star action!

Results so far are not good for fuel star, which I guess is backed up by the latest dyno graphs posted up. He reckons so far that it is actually costing him money and fuel economy has actually got worse but will stick out another 5000km before having it removed.

My thoughts from the beginning, if it's so great and has no downsides, why wouldn't it be on there from factory?
