How much does a capacitor, two resistors, and an LED cost? Don't rush to give an answer as it depends on how they are packaged and labeled.
And it seems that in Greece their christening costs 38 Euros and even on sale. This is the … “famous” fuel shark saver which is advertised at a machine gun pace via Facebook and Google in Greece as the ultimate tool that can lead you to achieve a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 70%.
Yes, you read that right, they claim that with this “machine” by plugging it into the car’s cigarette lighter you achieve such great fuel economy when car manufacturers spend many millions of Euros every year to achieve a reduction in fuel consumption of the cars they produce.
This particular product is sold through the website https://www.fuelsavingplus.com/gr/ which supposedly has “real” testimonials from people who have tried the product. It promises all of the following:
• Reduction of liters/100km
• Clean Gas Emissions
• Increase in Horsepower
• Balance of the Electrical System
• Longer Battery Life
• Plug-in Installation
• Affordable Price
• Guaranteed Results
The website even states that “The Fuel Shark Saver is offered to you with a 2-year full warranty. What does this mean? Within 10 business days, we will repair your device or replace it with a new one. "
The good things don't end here, but on the order form, and with today's date (the offer end date changes every day), the following is stated:
Yes! I am ordering the Fuel Shark Saver® to reduce fuel consumption by up to 70% - if my fuel consumption does not drop by that much, I will get back 100% of the money I paid for the product, because with my purchase, I also have a money-back guarantee.
I am ordering today, Sunday, March 9, 2014, and so I will have to pay a promotional price of €38 while the regular price is €48.00 per package. In addition, as part of today's offer, the product will be shipped to me for free (meaning I earn another €5).
I understand that this purchase is risk-free, as I can return the product and get all my money back, within 60 days from the payment date!
However, if someone bothers to read the terms and conditions, they realize that the return policy does not apply: Specifically, it states
"IV. RETURNS:
Return requests or cancellations must be addressed to the e-mail: support@fuelsharksaver.com. In the request, the customer must state the reason for the request. We reserve the right not to accept the buyer's request if the justification for his complaints is considered unfounded.
The product you are returning must be in the same condition in which you received it (like new), sealed/unopened, like the original packaging. In order for us to accept the return, you must present the order number of the person who made the purchase initially and whose details are listed in the order code. The customer has the right to return the purchased product and request a replacement with another product or a refund in two cases:
1. In case of proven error of our company (you received the wrong product or a product with a quality problem), the customer must return the product within ten (10) days from the day of receipt, without shipping costs.
2. If the customer's decision to return the product is not the result of the aforementioned objective reasons, the company reserves the right not to accept the request. If the request is accepted, the customer may return the product within ten (10) days from the date of receipt. In this case, all shipping costs, as well as the difference in the price of the products will be borne by the customer. In any case, the products must be in the same condition as when the customer received them, complete, without damage and in their original packaging. If they are not returned within ten (10) days, our store is not obliged to accept any return. In case of compliance with the Terms and Conditions and acceptance of the return request, the customer is entitled to receive another product of equal value, or a refund. The refund will be completed within ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the product. In case of repeated returns or a return for which our company decides that the customer is abusing the right of return or acting maliciously, the company is entitled to refuse the return of the product, even if the aforementioned conditions apply.
These terms do not affect the legal rights of the consumer. "
However, in addition to all this, there is no information anywhere on the website where the product in question is sold about the company selling the product, which raises serious questions about the legality of distribution via the Internet. Have the competent Greek authorities examined this specific case?

PS: The product is also sold in Bulgaria under the address
https://www.fuelsharksaver.com/bg/ where there are again “testimonials” with the same photos and the same text. They just change the names. See the photos for the truth.
