As soon as it said 'voltage flow' I knew all I needed to know.

And "By stabilizing the voltage from the battery of your vehicle, the load of the battery is reduced". No. Since when does adding a device to an existing DC circuit result in a lowering of the load!

An off switch would!

Expensive capacitor.

Haha fair call. But that's not going to be much use if you want to drive your car somewhere!

resister in series would lower the load !

ECUs already have voltage control and filters. The sensors wouldn't operate right if it couldn't precisely control voltage for the 5V circuits etc

Did it cost much to purcase that device! What is the ongoing operating costs!

Ongoing costs and maintenance would be much more than the price of gas savings for that model.

It was very cheap and easy to get into but is rapidly becoming a high maintenance device. I??

Those get very noisy as time goes on too. It starts with a little tolerable occassional chatter but that can quickly escalate into a very loud persistant roar.
Best you flick it off quickly, before it gets too bad - leave it too long and nobody with any brains will want anything to do with it.

You could well be right although my other option is to cut my losses, give it a quick rebore and bottom end job and get a few more years use out of it.

I tend to think that a top end rebuild is worth its weight in gold! And a bit of extra muffling.
