EcoPlus Fuel Saver: Is It a Scam? Here’s What We Think!

Our Review serves as an eyeopener. We hope it meets you well, and on time.

Eco Plus: Legit Gas Saver or Scam?

getecoplus.com claims the gadget will reduce fuel consumption of 15% – 30%. However, from our findings the claim is totally false. See the inconsistencies observed below –

  • It is just a piece of junk that we’ve seen recycled many times. As of 2017 this same product entered the market. It was ‘Ecofuel’, and similar to EcoPlus it didn’t do zilch.
  • What these sites do is buy hundreds (if not thousands) of generic OBD2 fuel savers from China for $3 a piece (or less,) design their own packaging, and re-sell it to you for $40 a piece.
  • Although they’re sold under different names, with unique packaging and have fancy websites, these OBD2 fuel savers are all scams and should be avoided at all costs. See Ecotune and EcoBox.

EcoPlus doesn’t affect fuel consumption in any way. Let’s be realistic – it was only made for profits. It is simply a magnet that you fasten to your fuel line. This chip doesn’t re-align the molecular structure of the fuel before it reaches the fuel injectors. It is just an expensive LED flasher.  

Does EcoPlus Really Reduce Fuel Consumption?

Ignore the positive reviews online, OBD2 units do not work. When we opened and dissected Ecoplus Plug & Drive OBD2 unit, we discovered it is just a junk. First of all, it doesn’t have any drive for CAM.

Secondly, the unit DO NOT have any connection to OBD communication. Only what is connected is Power for the flasher to flash. In order to do what these companies claim, you would have to redesign the car. The major parts of how much fuel any car uses are: vehicle weight, tire size, rolling resistance, friction in moving parts, number of moving parts in the driveline, etc. There is nothing plug and play that can alter these basic factors.

If you’re thinking of reducing fuel consumption, Energy.GOV has a list of helpful fuel-saving tips including combining trips, stripping your car of unnecessary weight, keeping your car in tip-top shape, and how to avoid aggressive driving.

By themselves, each tip might not seem like a lot but, combined over time, the fuel-savings make a difference.

  1. I strongly suspect that your findings are correct, and that this device is fake, or is a complete scam. What puzzles me though is that you have four advertisements on this web page “sabireviews.com” which take you to the EcoPlus device website “getecoplus.com” TechTrends article, where they hope to convince someone to purchase one. Why are you helping them market something which you are debunking? Also, everyone wants to know what the Coke bottle has to do with their product, which shows up on all their bait-click ads.

    1. They didn’t like that huh?
      Lmao..
      I think its a big scam too.
      They jumped on that fast.
      And there’s a ton of scammer adds for it.

  2. In the 70s their was a device they sold that connected to distributer cap.Did nothing,sounds like the same thing.
