MPG is a must. Give us before and after. All DTE is a flat number calculated off of your MPG. Using DTE is simply silly.

This reminds me of the "miracle" MPG product that was peddled here and even had a sticky by a former mod (I think he was) with alleged results. Both he and the sponsor are gone.

How much did you pay for this thing?

He really needs to proofread this story. That definately looks to me like 600 total miles or so on one tank.

Hmmmmm.......I sense a change in the tenor of this Board. There is genuine skepticism on this fuel saving gadget.

Two years ago, this type of product would be met with: I WANT IT NOW! WOW WHAT FUEL SAVINGS! LOOK AT THE CLAIMS, ITS GOTTA WORK!

Sorry for the caps. I wonder what caused this change?

First of all...Any free information is better than no information...right. As "06 footy" said, I have 33" tires an an 8 inch lift. Well of course bone stock fronty's will have better gas mileage. But how fun is "Bone Stock"!! NONE! I'm trying my best to get horses and save gas. It was a total of 315 miles btw.

on long trips over 300mpt is easy. no you cant depend on the DTE or the MPG on the computer. you dont have stock tires so its going to be off in the first place.
