doubt it works..cause if it did..everyone would be using it..not gas stations though..only cause they want more money..so the more you spend at the pumps the better...imo any of that "gas saving" stuff never works and if it does..it's probably not even 1mpg

yeah its interesting that now the way they're trying to sell the snake oil is to say that its 'green' 'environemtally friendly' and all that...even the bottles have eco-friendly colors...

Well, if Gabriel's father made her mother buy a bottle kindness of his heart, I'm in. Those are some odd testimonies. I love the section which proves why the other additives don't work and how this one does. I think thier thermodynamics are a bit off though...

They could charge $.20/gallon more than other stations and still have customers lining up.

Someone sent me that a couple weeks ago and I hadn't been able to find any good website refuting the idea. I settled for running the math and seeing that it would take about a 5% increase in efficiency for the product to pay for itself (depending on previous gas mileage and the cost of gas).I figured it would be unlikely to get in the range they claim (7-19%), so it would be about a wash at best.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
