And THE BEAT GOES ON!....
Well, just thot I should make an announcement....followed by some important responses to Meatball's inspired [don't ask by whom] analysis:
First, I want to announce that Robert and Adam have filed for legal separation...and each have matching restraining orders! Now..for Meatball's comments (will the illogical conclusions ever end!): Quote:

Wow, someone is a bit oversensitive. Ya know, every time something rolls around that threatens to unravel the fabric of society, there's some scam artist there trying to make a buck.
How many people got rich off the Y2K scare? Oh my, when the century turns all the computers in the world are going to crash and the world will stop rotating. Gas prices have risen sharply in recent months and many people are feeling the pinch. Unfortunately, this creates the perfect opportunity for con men to make money off other peoples misfortune. This is nothing new, it just surprises me that anyone still falls for it. BTW, you left out the best part...the diahrea part. Jim, I wasn't attacking you personally but you seem to have bought in to this snake oil as if you were a cult member. This is a free and open forum. Meaning, you can peddle your snake oil here but you also have to accept criticism. You can continue to defend your voodoo pills but you will continue to be criticised. I don't think anything either of us has to say will end this debate. I will never buy or use this product and you are just a salesman, not a product engineer as you would like people to believe. So press on young man, you may even make some money on this. After all that's what it's all about. It has nothing to do with saving people money or improving emissions. What was it PT Barnham said? Oh yeah, "there's a sucker born every minute." |

Can't you guys just agree that you disagree and drop all of this bickering? If you don't agree with someone, don't make it your duty to make everyone else think the same way. Both sides seem just as driven on proving the other one wrong.

PATIENCE....Please...
Please be patient....As the "Gas Pill Seven" do their mileage checks, gentlemen. I will keep you aprised of their accomplishments...so we'll know when they are getting results...and when they will be released.
[Of course, the individual members will post their results here...in whatever manner they choose...I certainly don't want to be accused of tampering with the results in any way. In spite of what some here have labeled me...I AM interested in an objective posting of results!] THANKS AGAIN for your participation, Y'all! Jim

I'm not a member of the "Gas Pill Seven" but I wanted everyone to know that my gas mileage has been steadily improving in the last few weeks as I read this thread!
Maybe the warming weather has something to do with it . . . Dan PS: My closet smells like moth balls. |

My closet smells like I never use it but I am just really anticipating results, be them positive negative or neutral.
I want to compare them to what I will naturally get for an mpg increase as the temperatures rises another 50*F. It's a little over 30 here now and my mileage has already increased 1-2mpg, but there could be many not-temp related variables like the slow snow driving and spinning tires, warm up idle time and so on. I drive to the opposite side of town to fill my tank at this one station because it is the second cheapest one in town. The first is much farther and usually only 1c cheaper. My work is somewhat close to this station so it kinda works out. But if these are proven to work, and even if it comes out to a marginal increase I would be interested.

Results....STILL Coming In!....
Just a short note...to let you know a couple of the members are starting to complete their 4 tanks! Hopefully, OTHER MEMBERS will be able to report their results soon! Each member will choose how to reveal their results THEMSELVES on this site! Some are interested enough to even order more BP fuel pills or powder to investigate further...with their SVX's and other vehicles!
THANKS for your patience! Jim

I've been watching this thread for the past couple of days, though I did skip a lot of the argumentative posts.
First I'd like to say that since this is not a health product, using a free trial won't kill you. Unlike many of those fad diet pills marketed in much the same way as this product, and are now found to be potentially unsafe to your health. I was looking over the ISO 9000 lab test, and came across an interesting figure. CO2 levels dropped by 25.5% as per the figure stated at the end of the test. Now from my understanding of combustion, a perfect AFR should result in only emissions of CO2 and water. The reason we get HC's, and CO is because engineers can't achieve perfect combustion under all circumstances. CO is created by a lack of oxygen in the intake charge. There is not enough O2 in the intake charge to combine with the HC's to create CO2, so CO is created instead. So what do you look for when tuning an engine to be as efficient as possible? A high CO2 level. Now many 5 gas exhaust analyzers include an AFR reading, but old 3 gas exhaust analyzers didn't. You had to tune the engine to get as high a CO2 reading as possible without pinging or detonation. So what's with the lower CO2? It should be higher not lower. In fact CO2 can't be lower if CO is also lower. They react inversely to each other. Just an interesting side point. One other thing is that this product might do some good, but because the driver knows he has it in his tank, he might change his driving habits unknowingly. Maybe beating the car a little more then usual. Of course the reverse is also true, the driver might unknowingly take it easy on the car, and see increased mileage as a result.

Well stated and during my testing I'm trying to maintain my driving habits. I'm also tracking daily temperatures during my testing as we all know that our mileage improves with the temperature.
