Recently, I went to Lahore for a few days to visit my in-laws there. While there, I had a chance to visit the Expo Centre in Jauhar Town where a super cars and bikes show was in progress.
There were nice old vintage cars and motor bikes on display, emitting roaring ears breaking noise from time to time. There were a number of stalls as well which were displaying auto industry related machinery and equipments.
One stall attracted my attention also like it was attracting others. The bill boards there made a pointed mention of a small innovative gadget which was based on a foreign technology, tested and tried by a number of international organizations which could give as much as up to 25 percent saving in fuel consumption without compromising on the mileage one has to travel around. Since I am one of the millions of the motorists who are hit hard every time petrol prices are hiked, I got the literature from the young boys who were manning that particular stall.
I have since returned to Karachi and given this idea some thought and come to the conclusion that there is certainly no harm in giving the innovative gadget a fair try to find out how much the claims of the manufacturers and the importers are true. I think even if the fuel saving is somewhat less than that, there is some saving still.
