ORIGINAL: Tim37

i got the best results buy going from 87 to 93 octane. some people say im full of bs and i will agree it won't work on all cars but my got got a fairly good increas 270 miles per tank on 87
to 300 on 93. i tried som 104+ aviation fuel with no real gain i got 305 on that tank not really worth the extra cash or the hassle of goin to the airport to fillup. btw i did a little math it is cheaper to run 93 when regular hits $2.00 per gallon. like i said i know it won't work on a lot of cars but it did mine.
it all depends bro if u have fule injection or not on allot of older cars it doesnt matter it works the same way. Its kinda like someone beliveing that shell gas is the cleanish gas around and thats why they can charge you 20 cents more then fule saver next store .

I bought the professional products typhoon intake. And the only thing i can say good about it is that the fitment was good. besides that is sucked. felt no improvement in power considering the pwer gain they said i would getAnd when the engine was at full running temp the intake was so hot you couldn't touch it increasing air intake temps higher then the stocker. About two days after i installed it I installed the stocker back on and go rid of it.

I found that people that instal or add something to improve MPGs, try to get better results by not pushing the fuel peddle down as hard, so the car gets better milege and the think its the POS-waste-of-money item that they put on the car... and its really that they are not driving like that were,,, I just bought a new 07 GT andI have used 3/4 of a tank of fuel in the first 85 miles.. LOL thats because I am going crazy with the power, WOO HOO!!!!![8D]

If people are so worried about a oiled filter fouling out the MAF why don't you just clean it off every oil change? It's pretty easy to get to.

So, what the hell do these people test their products on to attain these numbers?

Surely they could get in trouble for False Advertisement (i made that up, but I'm sure there is something along those lines.)

New performance ignition wire will always show increased mileage over used/old wires. But, it isn't really the brand of the wire, it's simply a benefit of routine maintenance.
