<![CDATA[CA-40g]]>Anyone heard of this. I'm skeptical of course, but it would be great if it actually worked as promised...especially since its sold out of Detroit Lakes, MN

Some fuel does enter the cylinder in droplet form, but it evaporates quickly due to the extremely small size of the fuel droplets. Carburetors produce a spray of small droplets which evaporate in the intake manifold. Some fuel travels as a film along the walls, and some of the larger droplets do not evaporate, so in older carbureted engines, about 60% evaporation was achieved. I was referring to multi-port fuel injection, since it is most commonly used and is "tottally" cool.

That statement is tottaly incorrect.

My uncle and one of his employees run it in their trucks and they have seen a 2-2.5 mpg increase. I will be trying some myself soon.

Umm, yeah I'd be wary of anything that had this on it's website, especially a fuel additive.

i was thinking the same thing.

We've been using something similar for years on the farm and have had good results with it.

Like I said, if I can find a decent way to meter the appropriate amount I'll probalby pick some up and try it out. I've got fuel milage logs on the Tahoe since I bought it (11 months now) so I'd be curious to try it for a year and see how it compares.

You put it in your tank, and then your drive a little more light footed becasue your brain is set in "save or economy" mode. Not saying what Mythbusters do is god, but they had a very legit test for some of these items and never found a gain in controlled testing, but when human element was factored in, they seen gains because subconciously you want gains so you drive different.

My boss bought some but when he tried it there was a strong head wind going to Devils Lake. Waiting to hear the results for this weekends trip. I think It was 30 dollars a quart.

I can think of better ways to save 6 and a half dollars per month, and I wont have to add something to my gas every time i fill up.

Try it and let us know.

havent heard of it but cant cost to much you would think if you only need 1/2 - 1 ounce for a tank of gas

the figuring I did a while ago was on my tahoe driving around 10k/year I'd save somewhere close to $150 in gas depending how well the economy increased.

so yeah, I've heard of it and planned on picking up a quart as soon as I figure out a decent way to meter out an ounce from a quart jug (sounds like the makers are also trying to find a way).
