Re: Fuel Economy and $4 gas...

I don't normally like to put crap in my engine that says it does xyz. However, when I went to visit my parents in MT a few weeks ago, I met their neighbor, a very nice German lady who got the shaft by her husband and has been doing whatever she can to make ends meet. Anyway, long story short, she gave me a product to try that seems to work quite well. My DD is an '05 Nissan Titan that has gotten a high of 13-14 MPG since I've had it. The product she gave me is a fuel additive that is supposed to help the fuel burn more completely. I used it on my return trip from MT to AZ and recorded my mileage for the entire trip. Product was added 1/2oz at each fill up for three tanks and 1/4 after that. My average speed was 75-80MPH. Results were:

1st tank: 13.29MPG
2nd tank: 13.46MPG
3rd tank: 14.72MPG
4th tank: 17.4MPG
5th tank(some of this was around town driving when I got back): 16.5MPG

I made no changes in my driving habits and have continued to get above 16MPG for my daily 10 mile commute. Considering that I was averaging around 12MPG before, it's a nice litle change.

My dad has been getting between 35-40MPG in his Subaru Outback with this product.

This may or may not be for you but if interested, PM me. The company that she works for is an MLM. I have no financial interest in this whatsoever, but I'd rather give you her information via PM and ask that if you decide to buy the product, that you buy through her.

Long story short, her family owned a large department store chain in Germany. She inherited a couple million dollars, married an American guy who moved her to BFE in MT (I think everywhere in MT is BFE isn't it?) and subsequently squandered her money and left. My parents help her as much as they can and she works her but off to pay her bills and eat. So, anything you can do to help would be great.

If anyone has a problem with this post, I'll delete. Just think it seems to be a decent product and it would help my parent's friend out. If you PM, I'll give you her number and you can call her, talk to her, and make your own determination.
