Gaslock Indy Cater saves gas, looks cool

indycator_front.jpg

Besides being the most radical-looking shift knob on the planet, the Gaslock Indy Cater has an energy-saving function. It tells you the exact point to shift to save gas, and if you follow its timely shifting tips, you can end up spending 15% less on fuel. It's not going to give you astonishing mileage like that 200 mpg Velozzi hybrid we showed you yesterday, but still, 15% savings might come in handy.

Its auto-dimming LEDs adjust to ambient light so they won't be too distracting, and the shifter also has a helpful numerical indicator that reminds you what gear you're currently using. It's not only a super-cool addition to your car's interior, but the company says it's easy to install. See more close-ups of the Indy Cater on the next page.

It's yet another clever application of LED technology, lighting up your car's decor while saving energy in a unique way.

Gas lock Indy Cater? I don't know about you, but I seldom look at my gearshift knob when I change gears... That would be poor driving. Might run into something. Otoh, if it beeped at you when it was the optimal time to shift, it might be worth something...

That was my first thought also. I don't know anyone who looks down at the knob while shifting. It would be quite dangerous to need to do that every time. Some sort of sound would be a better idea, or even have the display on the dashboard somehow. But it is a very interesting idea.
