Most of it is a myth, I listed a site here for you. I saw some more on GasBuddy.com, but couldn't find it.

i say we all just drive in chilly weather. we go farther that way.
Actually we get worst mpg in the winter, just because the gas is cooler, and so is the air. If you read hypermiling website, they actually put war air intakes on their cars. Reason is the engine has more than enough power at cruising speed, reducing the amount of air to the engine reduces the amount of fuel also. The result is better MPG.Quote:

i think that it is all bull**** but there may be some truth to it. we all need to really look at anything we can do to get a mile or two more out of the gas we put in. if any one has an aditive that really works and can show proof please do. i have tried a few octain boosters all they have really done for me is clean the injecters i tried a gas pill that just made my car run like ****. there is a magnet that is claiming to allign the fuel at a Molecular level. the problem with this is that hydrocarbons are not magnetic. so you just need to look at everything you can and do the research before you buy. so far the best way to get good MPG is an oil change clean filters and change out your spark plugs.
omg. u didnt put that damn pill in ur car did you? :roll:Quote:

i think it was the MPG-CAP™ it could have been something other then that but the same looking crap. what it was is my really good friend Glen is big time into alot of the multi-level marketing crap and he got in to this fuel pill. he talked to me time and time again and after about 3 weeks of hearing his Bull **** speach about this gods gift to better fuel prices i agreed to put this crap in a full tank of gas with the stippulation that he bought the full tank of gas $2.45 a gallon if that tells you how long ago it was. i would track the MPG with the tank of gas knowing that my Aveo was getting 27 MPG just tolling around town. the ****ING CRAP PILL gave me a Wopping 18 MPG and then when i was down to the last of the tank started running Ruff. i was PISSED OFF i went out got 2 bottles of fuel injecter cleaner and a full tank of gas kept the bill in the glove box along with the bill for 2 full tanks of gas and told the basterd to pay me to fix what he did wrong. my Aveo didn't get the right MPG for 4 tanks of gas with cleaner added to every tank. :evil:Quote:
