I don't think that there needs to be a bad tank of gas to explain it. From what MrsOleg says (quoted below), it sounds like it was stop and go on the way (city-like) and clear the way back.

nah, I've gotten 25mpg averagring 85 from philly to boston..which is well into the jail range..some of that was over 100, so to get all the way to 19mpg might be impossible....service is far more likely.

The logic fails me here, if this worked, IT WOULD BE IN TOYOTAS. Just because a piece of equipment is in a particular brand of car does NOT mean it's unavailable to the public. Johnson Matthey (matthey.com) makes catalysts for Honda, Volvo, CAT, Ford, Mitsu, Dodge, etc...YOU WOULD NOT BE LIMITED TO A PARTICULAR VENDOR OR ARRANGEMENT UNLESS YOU AGREED TO ONE. They also do a very small amount of aftermarket stuff, but the big dogs pay the bills.

Oleg, if you took the time to read the f'ucking post you would see THAT THE RESPONSE WAS INTENDED TOWARDS KOBAYASHI!

So I made a sarcastic response towards her AS SHE HAD TOTALLY MISCONSTRUED WHAT A POSTED.

All of my responses have been gear at the vendor, NOT YOU OR YOUR WIFE!!!! HOW IN THE HELL IT WAS READ OTHERWISE IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION

Wait for MrGone to do some testing. BTW I'd love to help you out any way I can, making graphs, webpage, anything really. I would love to attack this with the same scientific attitude that they (try) to use on Myth Busters.

As you can see it is almost 30% fuel economy. I can tell you guys if we didnt hit stop-and-go traffic for about 2 hours we would probably have made it on one tank.

Few other things I have noticed. The engine works a lot more quiet. For example at the cruising speed of 70 Mph and RPMs abot 2200 I didn't hear the engine at all.

Accelerator response imroved as well. I used to have a little lag as I step hard on gas. The delay is gone now.

All in all this is an amazig product and IMHO worth every penny. Especially for us driving 1200 miles every other week.

DrFuelMax can be found here. Make sure you read FAQ.
If this is so revolutionary, why don't car manufactures do this?

You can't possibly expect massive amounts of people to spend this kind of money just because you posted some trial on a message board and now substantial proof to back it up.

Yeah, it'd been a while between the time that I read that, and made my post. I knew I was confused about something dealing what that subject, but my confusion was really with her interpretation of your comment, and nothing that you said. My bad.

Car Sales are a vertebrae of the US...nay, the WORLD economy.

Consider how well it would serve the entire auto indutrsy to have but 3, 4 cars that would have exceptional gas mileage without sacrificing performance.

The reduction in fuel sales for an increase in auto sales would indeed be one that'd behoove the entire market economy.

Better gas mileage = more money in one's pocket = larger OVERALL sales in ALL facets of the economy.

I simply cannot buy high fossil fuel prices is a function of a 'conspiracy theory'. Exxon had RECORD PROFITS, as did the Oil Cartels.

I dunno, a company that has sold 1 million units in one country would be expected to bomb into another market.. they wouldn't wasn't time on small time forums - they'd go to companies and make millions in foreign countries.

Who knows though..I still like to dream it might be real...

In order for the results to be meaningful, the tests must be double-blind to control for placebo effects. An independent auditor will have to give MrGone two identical looking devices--one real and one fake. Only the auditor will know which is which. This is to make sure MrGone doesn't consciously/unconsciously alter his driving style. He would need to make separate runs with each device (resetting his tank & odo between each run) under similar driving conditions (speed, traffic, temp, etc.). The more runs, the better. Once the results are in, the auditor will reveal which device was the real one. I can't stress how important this double-blind procedure is. Otherwise, there will always be questions of whether MrGone drove more conservatively, knowing the device was in his tank.

edit: Actually, an alternative might be to just idle the car for an hour with the device in and see how much gas is burned. Then compare that to how much gas is burned idling for an hour without the device. That would better eliminate differences caused by variability in driving styles and driving conditions. That would also be easier to repeat/reproduce. Of course, because the device displaces some gas in the tank, you must remember to top off after removing the device. Otherwise, it would look like you used more gas without the device in your tank. Good luck with your experiments. Keep us posted.

there are several ways to test this product. You could idle the engine forever, but in the end it is not a real world test and would only leave more questions like "yeah but what if he ran the car at higher RPMs?" and such.


bigEL I agree with you that we need a control run, but the best (cheapest) way to do this is just to have one of Gone’s friends go in and install the unit for one run, then take it out for then next (or vica versa ) but don’t tell Gone. To remove (some) statistical error, the test should be preformed at least 3 times I think.

1 test = 1 tank w/ unit installed + 1 tank w/o unit installed

do you seriously believe the garbage you write? Why wouldn't a car manufacturer put this in all their cars and advertise the EPA MPG figures with teh 30% increase as opposed to the old numbers? Gas is expensive so people would believe it...
