It is suppose to condition your fuel system. you add one bottle per tank for the first 4 tanks then once a month after that. claims to give you up to 30% more gas mileage. the company must be confident that it works if you can buy it at pep boys and get a rebate for the whole amount of the item. i figured i'd give it a shot i'm only on my first tank though. just was wondering if anyone else tried it.

i do know of a pill that some people i know use that really works.... just not interested in signing into the business at this moment considering it cost 400 to get in. removes all the carbon through out your fuel system and coats the inside of your fuel system.

every fill up like half a pill... but i know people with the same truck as mine getting 60 more miles to the tank and another in an accord getting 100 more miles to the tank. the stuff works... just lil pricey to get into. you get people under you to sell the product and you make money off of it and save gas at the same time.

Care to try to explain how coating the inside of your fuel system can improve mileage??? Makes absolutely NO sense at all. Increasing the hydraulic effect on the fuel running through the system can not improve anything in regards to fuel consumption..Fuel comsumption is based on combustion, AF ratios and etc.. Manufactured and sold by the same people who bring you the weight reduction pill that works while you sleep, and the makers of pocket fisherman????---

This additive is suppose to bind up any impurities in the gas and render it harmless. There is nothing in the formulation, per SW Research report, to cause a coating as advertized. The binding of impurities has nothing to do with fuel mileage and the impurities are not an issue anyway. The additive can also yield a full one octane increase in the fuel. Again, this isn't going to help fuel mileage. The only benefit I see is the additive can clean the fuel system which can yield better fuel mileage. But that can be done with Techron, Acetone, Berrymans Chemtool, etc. I don't think it worth trying for free unless you have a dirty fuel delivery system.
