anybdy tried this stuff yet?

so i was at the gas station this morning to get gas and some guy came up to me and started talking to me about my truck. he asked what kind of gas mileage i got. i told him somewhere around 12. so this guy hands me a flyer and and tells me to check out the website and see if i like his product. im not so sure about dumping **** in my gas tank just because some guy says it will improve my gas mileage. heres the website. they say $20 worth of this additive will treat 180 gallons of gas.

if this **** does work, hell im in, but just looking for others opinions.

 

Scary... I don't trust people at truck stops, gas stations, etc. Ever seen any murder mysteries? They all start there.

Anywhoo, that seems to be all the craze and if it actually worked, everyone would be using it and they would have a broader marketing plan. Not just Johnny Gastank at a gas station. JMO.

 

As with any other snake oil, you need honest scientific proof to prove it works. No amount of hersay evidence can convince me that a small bottle of mystery fluid will increase my fuel efficency.

I would love to see the research behind this, just how does this substance increase fuel mileage? Sounds like the Acetone trick to me.

 

I'm also trying to figure out how adding something to your tank would increase mileage by that amount. It won't change the amount of fluid your engine (big pump) pulls through your carb jets, that's straight physics. If it, say, increased the amount of fuel that could be burned with a given amount of air, you could jet down and get better mileage, but otherwise, I don't see how it could work.

 

didn't you watch the mythbusters gasoline episode, they tried every milage enhancer on the net, all had ****py results. Just tune up your ride. If you really want better mileage on the cheap, add a diesel engine, run bio deisel fuel. but that will get expensive soon too.

 

I wouldn't be dumping anything in my gas tank. What if that stuff melts you fuel pump. Think of all the money you're saving. I saw all kinds of snake oil when I worked at the dealership. BG, Wynns, MOC all of it was just another way to bilk money from the customer with no effect to the vehicle.

 

Well, he got you to post it here and get people to his website. His job was to get you to post.
It worked.

 

My friends unemployed alcoholic/heroin addict stepfather sells "gas pills" for increased mileage. If that isnt the white lab coat endorser I need to put my money on it, I dont know what is...

 

this guy was on his way to LA. he just happen to be getting a pask of smokes. wouldnt an increase in octane increase your mileage? i got a whole flyer from the guy. heres another link too.

and the flyer ahs a bunch of chicks in bikinis on cars. this **** must work with that.

 

Additional octane will only help mileage and power if a particular engine requires additional octane to operate at peak efficiency. Higher octane fuel actually produces less power per pound of fuel.
I would almost bet that this particular form of snake oil is based on acetone, the currently popular mileage "miracle."

 

Are these the pills that Grampa Munster made?

 

It sounds too good to be true, so it probably is.
Maybe that and dumping in those "engine overhaul" pellets, and a magnet on your fuel line, would be a selling point on your vehicle.
There is one born every minute!

 

*** Results may vary ***

That last line is what they will say when it doesn't work.

I also have a building in downtown Houston for sale at a REAL steal.

 

An increase in octane will let you run a higher compression ratio. A higher C.R. will burn gasoline more efficiently, so you get slightly better mileage. So just change your C.R. and run this stuff ...

A better name for that guy's website might be www.money_in_MY_pocket. This type of snake oil has been around forever. Pick up a copy of Popular Mechanics from the '50s and read the ads, there was always some miracle additive or a gadget to add into your fuel line that magically increased fuel mileage.

Of course if attracts a bunch of chicks in bikinis maybe I will buy some.

 

Any time the cost of gas goes up, a bunch of people start selling this kind of **** to take advantage of it.

Wanna buy a bridge ??

 

JohnnyG,

It's just the latest scram to get peoples money. It's like the kids that come around selling drive way cleaner, that's nothing but beach. You should have told him that he would be better off drinking it.

thanks fellas for a good laugh. it seemed to good to be true. it also states that if you put too much in it doesnt work and the same if you put not enough. didnt read too much into. thanks again guys for making me feel like an ***... the hamb is always good for that.( this is johnnyG. on jasons computer...)

 

Total ****. And accosted at a truck stop? Creepy.

There is no science involved. It's a sales scam with a little of the old Ponzi too. No street address? Phone? I see.

I'm very surprised at you.

 

hey at least they told the truth "your results may vary"
I sell a product too. but you'll never see it on the HAMB or anywhere else on the net. first trip in my wife Chrysler got 4 mpg more than it ever got in it's life.

 

thats what this guy promised. said his car used to get 34 now it gets 38. crazy. man i would love to get 15.

 

And boy, does it catch fish!

 

The only thing that you will get at a truck stop is a good start on the dead ****** high heel collection and possibly a cool scar that will highlight your missing kidney..............

 

ok, who started the comment about it being a truck stop? is it because i drive a truck and it was a gas station? if was ****ing circle K for crying out loud. now if it was a KUM N GO that would be different.

 

As old Abe Lincoln used to say" You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time - and those are pretty good odds."

 

come on grease, gas pills. Sounds like a steamin' pile to me.

 

I was at 7-11 at 12 am on Saturday. They had a display on the counter selling the same "Gas pills". My wife noticed the five warnigs about flamability and also wondered what business girls in bikinis had sellin such a product. I'm going to buy some on payday and see how well they burn. Maybe they'll at least be fun for bonfires. I don't know, Mentos burn really good also.

 

did i have a cl*** w/ you?

also, these arent gas pills. you put some "****" into a ceringe and then you put it into your gas tank.

 

yeah im buddies with dicurcio and david, met ya a couple times. either way pills or syringe its bologna
