You got to read the whole page. Watch all the videos. This stuff is for real. My dad has a 1996 Chevrolet 4x4 w/ 136,000 miles. He went from an average 14-16 miles per gallon up to 19-20. And it keeps getting better, the more he uses it. I got my order today.

I'll have to see the evidence first hand, in person, somebody else try it first, no doubts about it this time. Just got my money back from some horsesh*t snake oil gig like this outta Texas I tried over a year ago.

first off it sounds like an advertising scam... second, if you own an LT1, the last thing you are worried about is ******* gas mileage.

yea seriously. that **** looks awesome. tell me how it is. even without other peoples inputs im still thinking about getting me a couple bottles. i mean **** even 1 mpg and the **** pays off. you know. 15 gallons times 12 uses at 1.5oz per use for 15 gallons equals 180 miles extra each bottle at 25 dollars a pop that sounds pretty awesome to me, especially since it looks like performance would also increase.

its a great advertising page, Im not saying it doesnt work.

But considering everytime you use chevron techron, or seafoam injector cleaner you gain MPG's for just running fuel injector cleaner...

Didn't think people were rude after the a.m. This isn't just for LT1's [B][B]Moserman, it's for anything that has a fuel burning engine wether it be 2-stroke, 4-stroke, deisel, ect....so don't bother with it if your worried about a scam. I simply posted this thread in here because I'm an LT1 guy. This product will pay for itself if you do the math.

It broked down all the hydro carbons down to almost ZERO. The product was originally designed to cut down on emmisions in the state of California. The side effects were: improved performance (cleaner engine), better fuel economy, and in the long run, lower maintenance costs.

It breaks down the molecular bond of all fuels, since fuel is so dense, and gives the engine the ability to burn "ALL" the fuel with the greater result of almost no emissions and pollutants. You gotta read the whole web page that I posted. My dad had already used this product on his older Chevy pickup and it worked wonders. There was a huge noticable difference in the way in ran, he's already getting 3-4 miles more per gallon. Add that up on a 20 gallon tank and that already 60-80 more miles you can get out of one tank of gas (for a 20 gallon tank). I got my order in for 2 bottles. I will use it on my 95 LT1, but I'm more interested in using it on my wifes 05 Trailblazer.

Anyway you look at it, gas isn't going any cheaper lately. Why not try to save a dollar here and there. And, a lot of people are going green. Doing your part for the envirnment by cutting down greatly on pollution will do us all a favor. Make fun if you'd like. But the proof is there already.

i wasnt argueing with you, i was just giving my opinion. Do a write up to make us believers

1) Go to the same gas station and select the SAME grade
2) Keep your receipt for gas purshased and scan it on your computer
3) Run that tank and figure your current fuel economy
4) Fill back up with that fill slip number it #2 and start using the additive
5) After that tank is ran down fill up with that slip #3 and show your first results
6)
7) these steps just show the progressing gain if there is one
8)

and since it says it makes your engine cleaner, if you want to get technical pull your valve covers take a picture, run it for an oil change (3,000 miles) and then pull them again and take a picture.

if it is anything like seafoam there will be a huge difference internally.

Theres nothing wrong with being biased. There are so many scams out there that everyone has a right to be skeptical. The main reason I posted it was because I've seen it work. Only on one vehicle though. Dad also has an '01 Busa and is currently running a full tank with this product added. Seems like people would like to see instant results. I'm sorry I can't provide them with that because I haven't recieved it yet. $50 for 2 bottles. If it don't work, oh well. It's only a small amount of money. But I'm willing to give it a shot because we're already spending more than enough on fuel compared to this time last year. Caldercay, the least you could do is entertain the thought of better burning fuel. I'm not saying your being hasteful about the topic but lets not jump to conclusions yet.

I've seen the proof. As in your original post, you need to read all the *other*
articles disproving it. And be sure to read them, top to bottom. I'm quick to
disbelieve it because these products pop up all the time, making all sorts of
claims and eventually are proven to not work.

Their business model is an MLM - that should give a person cause for concern.
But that's OK, it's no sweat off my back (or lost money out of my pocket), since
I'll not be purchasing any of it.

The way these products are guaranteed to sell is that they work off the panic of
the public. So we're seeing higher gas prices, which are guaranteed to not drop
in the future, so people will look for the "quick fix". Wow, I can pour this stuff in
my tank and *instantly* get better gas mileage - where do I sign up?

if this stuff *really* worked, the company would sell it out of every store they
can and it would continue to sell out. It would be on *every* news channel and
on the front page of every newspaper around the world.

My concern and reason for participation in this thread is that I'd hate to see a
bunch of folks out there being scammed.

Caldercay. I do appreciate your point of view and it won't be forgotten. I have read from top to bottom and there have been "claims" that this product didn't work for them. Every point you made was right on the money. If your skeptical, don't bother with it. On the other hand, whats $50 to most people...If I try it and my milage decreases, I will post a thread about how I made a total *** out of myself and only hope everyone chimes in. You have pros and cons with almost every product in the automotive industry. The less the cons, the more practical it is buy/borrow/own. I thought a lot of the same things about this stuff as you do. My dad did to. But after he proved himself that infact it worked great on his vehicle, that was enough to make me want to buy some for my vehicles. Some things in life you need to figure out on your own. Buy running everyone off will prohibit people from ever knowing if they would actually benefit from this or not.

I think it's halarious that you get 6 bottles that treat 160 gallons of gas. Most people in the video were claiming 4 mpg gains.

So at 160 gallons x say $3.25 a gallon is $520.00

160 Gallons @ 14mpg = 2240 miles @ $520 = $0.23 per mile

160 Gallons @ 18mpg = 2880 miles @ ($520 + $160 price of 6 bottles) $680 = $0.23 per mile

2240 - 2880 = 640 extra miles per tank for an extra $160

__________________________

So you spend $3.25 per gallon and get $0.23 per mile.

OR (if it works)

You spend $3.25 per gallon plus $160 for 6 bottles and get $0.23 per mile.

I would be more interested in E85.... it would again just be another way of fooling myself into thinking I was getting cheaper gas... but supposedly I might see a little more power from it...

640 extra miles per tank / $160 for the 6 bottles = $4 per gallon

Haha, yet another demonstration of saving through spending

Except E85 actually is 105oc, and not some gimmick. I mix Gas/E85 about 60:40 when I fill up, which I also use 87oc. So I save extra by not only using E85 @ like $2.45/gal, but by using 87oc as well, and in the end I still end up with like 93oc Also, it's not a psychological thing, but I can tell when I have mixed gas, vs straight 87oc.
