Cleaner Air, Greener Wallet

Now you can have both!  All it takes is a trip to the Ideal Engine in the heart of Davis Square, Somerville.   While getting my car serviced earlier this season, the mechanic at Ideal told me about the Blade, a new breakthrough in emissions filtering technology produced by Sabertec, LLC. (Brazil/Texas).  Initially developed to substantially reduce harmful polluting emissions from standard gasoline and diesel fueled automobile engine, this new technology has been found to have a great secondary effect; it increases fuel efficiency from 10 to 34 percent, which means big savings at the pump!  I jumped at the chance to have this new duel filtering device installed on my 1994 Toyota Camry. The Blade (which fit neatly over my car’s tailpipe) was installed in 20 minutes.  Ever Since, I’ve been enjoying increased fuel economy with every fill-up, ranging from 10 percent to over 27 percent (depending on my proportion of city to highway miles and varying air temperatures), all the while knowing I’m doing my part to help clean up the environment.  While my Blade was being installed, I spoke with another satisfied customer who reported her Honda del Sol had gone from 25mpg to 31 mpg since the installation of the Blade.  Priced between $150.00 and $200.00 installed, she had already saved that much at the pump in just her first two months of use.

 

Green up the environment and your wallet at the same time?  It’s a no-brainer!  Visit www.sabertec.org to read facts and figures.  Then call Skip Hansen, Manager at Ideal Engine, 49 Day Street, Davis Square, Somerville, 617.666.3737 (currently the exclusive New England distributor for the Blade) to see how you can cut your car’s polluting emissions and save yourself cash at the pump at the same time.
