This was developed for better gas mileage but they just did a story on all these way to get more miles on a tank of gas. This is product highly marketed but alot of the " garage guys " on TV- unfortunately its worthless- no extra milage and definetly no added horsepower- dont waste anymore thought on it-

Yeah, it'll increase your power and gas mileage... If you happen to drive your car in a laboratory under ideal controlled conditions.

Funny you ask.. was watching mythbusters <<-- spelling ( on T.V. )

and they had that on there.. junk...

EDIT: what did work .. was cooking oil ( after it is filtered ) on a diesel engine.. NO JOKE...!!

so you could go to ANY fast food place and get there old cooking grease and use it as fuel.. again if you had a diesel engine.. and it also gets about the same fuel mileage.. again no joke... plus it is free.. for now as they said.. lol

I had a friend in highschool who ran a deisel VW off of cooking oil from local restaurants. Broke down a lot, but he never paid for gas.

The thing actually hurts mileage and does zero for horsepower. Every test I've seen said it was worthless.
