I see you're plugging gas-reducing pills.
Let me give you some info on those: They only work as placebo.
How? People who buys those pills are driving smarter, more efficient. Which creates the 10-15% reduction of gas usage.

""We really want marketers to know we're watching them. We're monitoring the airwaves and the Internet and the print ads, and that we will take action if we see something that's egregious," Lupovitz said."
Take this as a friendly heads-up about getting out of a fishy business, which could get you in trouble.

Hey Hedge,
Thanks for the story... but it is over a year old and is extremely inaccurate. The pills definitely do work.
It is NOT a placebo effect. That article came out over a year ago, when it was fashionable to do a hatchet job on the so-called gas saver devices. I cannot blame them, there were all sorts of charlatans coming out of the wood-work attempting to cash in on the desperation of motorists with products that did not work.
The tests these network guys conducted on the pills were improper and were destined to not show results.
That's why this is the type of product that works best in an networking environment, because you have people talking to people and ensuring they use the product correctly and will know what to expect from it.
In the AAA test, they plopped one pill in the gas tank and drove without giving the pill the time to dissolve in the tank. Of course they wouldn't see any results. Furthermore, it is necessary to first condition the engine, by developing a nano thin catalytic coating on the combustion chamber parts before one see the results. That could take processing up to 80 gallons of fuel before the coating is in place depending on how much carbon buildup is already present. ABC did their test incorrectly despite the proper instructions being provided to them, and they got a 4% increase on the first tank. We thought that was very impressive and quite a testament to the product that they managed to get a 4% increase despite using the product incorrectly.
After we realized it was becoming fashionable to attack us in the press and to lump us in with other products that do not work, we organized a test and invited the media to come and witness the results. They ended up with egg on their faces, and didn't pursue any further negative stories about us.
To the credit of many media outlets, they reported the positive results, ...however, many just sheepishly backed away from all mention of us and our product altogether.
On June 14 & 15, 2006, television stations and other entities all across the US ran a piece entitled
"How to Save Money at the Pump,
Use MPG-CAPS (TM) as Part of Your Total Car Care Regimen".
This included the caveat that most fuel additives were ineffective, however, it specifically recommended the use of the FFi MPG-cap, as an effective product that will save you money on your fuel costs.
Some of the stations and entities that ran it included: KLFY 10, WATE 6, Auto-eSources.com, WOI TV 5, KAIT 8, KFSM 5, WIS TV 10, WHOtv, WHNS, WPRI 12, WACH 57, WFIE 14, WHBF TV 4, WEHT 25, WTNZ 43, KPLC 7, WTKR 3, WAFB 9, KWWL 7, WLOX 13, WUAB 43, WNEM 5, WAFF 9, WQAD, FOX 21, Auto Spectator
Some even went a step further, doing their own testing and ensuring they followed the proper instructions for the products use, ...and they reported honestly without bias, any results they saw.
You can see the investigative report conducted by News 9 (http://mfile.akamai.com/12933/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2006/1121/10366165.300k.asx) <--click me
As well as the one done by TMJ 4 (http://jme.mpgproduct.com/default.aspz?cid=50962) <--click me on the opening page of my product website
Below are the test results conducted on a fleet of 263 cars using detergents, placebos, and the MPG product.
You will clearly see:
- The baseline mileage in bright fuschia
- The Detergent in brown
- The placebo in purple
- The MPG product in red
The orange line represents the mileage increase seen during the initial conditioning phase with the MPG product.
This test was a double blind placebo test conducted over 5.5 million miles using a fleet of 263 vehicles.

Since that test was conducted, we've since discovered how to improve results even further.
Well, actually we didn't discover it, Jerry Lang, one of the top combustion experts in the world did.
Jerry Lang is a combustion expert with 40+ yrs of experience, having consulted for most of the major oil companies.
He is also the holder of 17 patents (13 of which are combustion related)
When he first became aware of these products, he was EXTREMELY skeptical, assuming they did not work, and he determined to prove this. What resulted was a very expensive lesson on his part, because he ended up spending over $250,000.oo of his own money to discover that they not only DO WORK, ...they work EVEN BETTER than even we were aware of. :o
We had been perplexed by different results being reported in the field. We couldn't understand how some people were seeing negligible results, while others were seeing reduced fuel consumption and savings in the 20 - 30% range. We hired him on as a technical consultant and he worked out an improved protocol that resulted in optimal results more consistently. He helped us to understand the different results that could be expected depending on the different dosages used.
The 10 pack blister card of the MPG-Boost™represents 15 to 34 gallons saved (averaged)!
This translates to a savings of $37 to $85 based on $2.50 per US Gallon. That's just averaged at a mere 7 - 14%.
Some drivers are seeing much greater savings than that however, and for those experiencing upwards of 20% or 25% savings, those numbers are multiplied further, and continue to increase along with the price of fuel.
I strongly recommend that you have a listen to this: Audio (http://jme.myffi.biz/call/Truckerscall_01_30_07.mp3) <--click me as well.
These are a bunch of truckers discussing the results they've been getting with the products on Jan 30, 2007.
Hope That Clarifies
