Save Money on Gas, Reduce Your Emissions
This additive, tested by Fox news can greatly increase the effiency at which your car burns fuel, which will increase your gas mileage and greatly reduce its emissions. Good for your car and the environment! No, I do not sell it or own any stock.

I can't believe it if it was "verified" by Faux "News".

Well, to be fair, it was evaluated by a local news affiliate of Fox.
I have no idea re: the validity of the claim. Too many variables. The video clips show someone adding diesel to his car. We don't know how long the ancient Toyota was driven before smog testing, grade of fuel, modifications, etc. I can't believe that one quart of some magic fluid will make gasoline (primarily octane in different forms) more volatile in a combustion chamber. I'd also be worried about newer cars with newer valves and injectors that are calibrated for whatever fuel the manufacturer recommends. Most modern cars caution NOT to add ANY additives - warranty issues, etc. Then again, if the stuff works, it would be damn near miraculous. I'd really like to see the condition before and after of the EGR valve in that car also. Who knows...the stuff could actually cause deposits to form in the manifold and/or catalytic converter, reducing exhaust flow, which would of course reduce emmissions. That would increase backpressure and make the engine much less efficient. I'm a skeptic, but a hopeful one. I'd love to see the ingredients of that stuff. |

I am very skeptical of this stuff but I would love it if it actually worked and was not harmful for your car.

These types of additives are not typically good for the car.
