I honestly don't know why I even bother posting on this forum anymore, so many people ready to crank at you - of course I can't account for the many variables involved in mpg testing, no one on this forum can!!!
I averaged 10 tanks of gas and posted my results - which were positive in BOTH vehicles - driven in the same fashion on the same roads over and over again. Tire pressures monitored, vehicle always well maintained.
Its just a testimonial from someone who has no vested interest in the product.
But you are posting numbers that are literally meaningless.
You say you went from 7-8 to 6-7.
If you went from the ~7 (of 7-8) to ~7 (of the 6-7) .. you didn't change ??!!
I applaud your enthusiasm but you have to abide us when we take your vague results with a grain of salt (scepticism)
Anyway, it has been a long, cold winter here in Canada and any bit of good news should be gratefully received.
(You know that any sane Canadian wouldn't believe anything that someone from Ottawa said
