BioPerformance

I was approached recently about a gas additive called BioPerformance. I comes in tablets or powder and smells like your grandpa's suit (mothballs). It is supposed to increase gas mileage. I think it's just a big scam. Anyone heard about this?

Is that with your knowledgable custom tuning and the snake oil combined? or just the snake oil?

No, that's when i had the EDGE installed.

*If your going to come at me with these posts at least use correct spelling, it seems you also fit the description perfectly of my quote in the signature. And what are you trying to prove anyway? Or better yet e-mail me and let me know. Keep the subject on the correct topic and try not to stray off and try and include me as my post was merely fictitious stating most if not all fuel additives are worthless.

There is an old urban myth about gaining horsepower by putting mothballs in your gas. This sounds like it went commercial. I would stay away

Just playing the devil's advocate here, but when you tried to correct his spelling you spelled "you're" wrong.

Might try a little of your own advice?

I heard about this just today too, but was going to hold back a thread till I heard more. Did check their website, lot's of testimonials of 15-35% gains. Could be a scam. My question is why did they go MLM if it's some miracle pill? I'm set talk with an old acquaintance that is checking into it. I'll talk to him with an open mind.

(I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors, please don't hate me because I can spell).

Some sales ladie showed up at our terminal and tried to talk our boss into putting a bottle of this stuff in one of our trucks.


He wouldnt touch it.


I read on the bottle it says its suppose to act as a catalyst and improve the combustion proccess.


It also states that these pills are "Non-Combustable" ????

How does some thing that wont burn improve the burning proccess????



We talked some guy into dumping the pills into his ranger, we are awaiting the results.

Technically his spelling is fine, he just used the incorrect version of the word.
I don't know why I even decided to get involved, but for some reason it seemed like fun.
