Talking Increased Gas Mileage!...and Performance!

Heh Guys! A friend of mine recently turned me on to a powder/pill formulation that you add to your gasoline to get substantially better gas mileage.. . . IT REALLY SEEMS TO WORK!? Not only do they show hundreds of testimonies of people who have tried the product...AND have increased there gas mileage from 15% to 57% during the first 4 tankfuls of gas!...BUT personal friends of mine improved their gas mileage 10% on the first tankful, 14% on the second tankful, and..39% ON THE THIRD! They also noticed a remarkable improvement in the performance of their old van (as many others had shared on their testimonies)!

The product, called BioPerformance Fuel, is said to work by first cleansing your tank and fuel system (as many fuel additives we are all familiar with..are supposed to do) through enzymatic action. Then, the proprietary formula breaks down the large moleculecular weight hydrocarbons into more easily ignited smaller weight hydrocarbons. Evidently, this results in a lower "flash point", yielding a faster..more complete combustion. This is said to result in not only better performance (HP, etc.)...BUT also better emissions!

I am just about to calculate MY first (tankful) gas mileage improvement figure, but I have already (immediately) noticed better performance (in the form of quicker acceleration...that's just noticeably peppier! I know this is a subjective appraisal...but still hard to ignore! I invite any and all of you to evaluate the product...and their distributor opportunity. [I can definitely say that I noticed a substantial improvement in (HP) acceleration..compared to the "improvement" I tried to sense, when I installed the EcuTune Phase 1 computer chip about 4 months ago!!!]

Please evaluate..and LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK..AND FIND..GUYS!

PLEASE don't hesitate to respond here, to PM, to email...or to call!

Why does their website have your name on it?

Is this type of hyping and self promoting of products allowed on our forum?

Question Hype..?

Sorry you're offended Dan, but I joined as a new distributor 3 days ago. I didn't represent myself to buy MY product...or to join MY business, mainly because I joined based on my belief in THEIR customers' testimonies and my friend's personal experience! I told you pointedly that I haven't even finished one tankful of gas (until tomorrow or Saturday) in order to get a "first tankful" gas mileage figure!

You (and anyone else, of course) are welcome to buy the BP Fuel pills (and/or check out their business) through ANY contact with BioPerformance.

If you leave out the "cheapgas4u2." part of the address, you can contact the company directly without passing through my referral! [They probably will connect you with some other "self-promoting" distributor, however, because that's how they choose to market their product.]

BTW Dan, I have purchased numerous products for my SVX on this site that were promoted directly..or indirectly by site members! The ECUTune Stage 1 v4 chip that I mentioned was one of those items! I won't mention names or businesses unless asked...because I appreciated the "self-promoting" and "hype" those individuals and businesses shared on this site...so that I could purchase some really quality items ...which benefitted me AND my SVX!

I'D APPRECIATE ANY INFO OR EXPERIENCE ANY OF YOU HAVE HAD WITH BioPerformance or its BP Fuel pills or powder.. . . ? THANKS!

James

My first thought when I read this was Performance Chip, Guaranteed to add "up to" 25 HP instantly. Typical late night TV infomercial write up.

When I clicked on the site to see that you are the one selling the product, (although your ad copy doesn't suggest that), I thought it just wasn't quite right.

As you know from being a member of this site, we are all a little bit cautious of what we feed our babies.

Since this is a new product to most everyone on this site, you might want to try a different approach in marketing it.

1) Be up front, tell us you are selling this product.

2) Contact some members of longstanding and offer them free samples if you want to get some valuable input. Any good marketing person knows it takes money to make money.

As far as comparing your product to something like the ECUTune chips, I'm sure ECUTune started the communication with the forum with some thing like, "I have this idea" or "I think I could do this for our cars, what do you think". Not, "I have this magic bullet that will solve all of your problems with every car ever built".

Take a moment, pretend you aren't trying to sell this product, reread your original posting and think about it. I'm really not trying to be negative.

Honestly, from going to the link you posted, it looks like one of those pyramid schemes. I mean, the site seems to push you towards signing up as a distributor, more than buying the actual product itself.

I'm also sure that distributors get a bigger commission for every new person that signs up through their site, rather than the sale of these alleged 'gas pills'.

Please correct me if I'm wrong James...

However, I'm not interested until a study has been done by a reputable independent test agency such as Consumer Reports.

the following has been a paid advertisement for....

i feel insulted

i find a difference between the things manufactured by members on this site for this car specifically and the way that they are brought up. ex the step by step on the twin screw supercharger.

what your doing is coming off as gimmicky and im wondering how many other sites your doing this in. *wants those "yahoo chat bots" to DIE*

you look at when people ask "what are the best winter tires" or sometihng of the sort. its throwing out a question to seek opinions and reviews based on existing members trial and thoughts aobut a product. look at the "electric supercharger" thread for a good example

when the jdm emblum sale thread came up its in a parts for sale section it was a flat out sale but it was what it was and short and sweet with product reviews and everything, it was blut and to the point and not so generic, its svx specific.

its one thing to peddle your own products most of which are custom designed and/or hand made as one svx member to another... but to present an open "infomercial" in this site is insulting ot what this site is about it takes the warmth and family like comrodery that makes this site worth coming daily to ask questions and get opinions and flat out talk about the car we love. this thread cheapens what we are about.

you dont see coke and pepsi putting ads in our threads....

and in my opinion your product seems not unlike the "gas saving tornado" that costs 80 bucks and saves you a whopping 14 cents per tank of gas. think of how long thatd take to pay for itself? if it does indeed work. thats my 2 cents im not gonna see go into my gas tank.....

btw please check my thread on my magical secretions from legless reptiles, itll help you lose that unwanted belly fat (by diverting the money you would be otherwise spending on snack cakes ) im having a huge clearance sale
