EJ,
For 5 heavy bodies (245-lbs each) the result is 24mpg on a 50mpg car. You did a poor math and you put your bad result in my mouth. I hope you will never use our technology. Please go buy a hybrid and make a payment.
Thanks,
GasSaver.
BTW - We already reached 90mpg on converting Mercedes-Benz's any model from C230 - E320.
Yes and that's good for them but do you realize their prices? Will you be able to pay for it under $4K?
PS - We already reached 90-mpg on converting any Mercedes-Benz's model C230 - E320 to 90mpg for less than $4K, with 1-yr guarantee.
The 3.1X Friction-2-Energy conversion will last throughout the lifetime of your vehicle. If you place your order today, you get your smoothy car back in 3 days with triple mileage and better horse power. I'm working on making an uninterruptible video and will squeeze it down to small size so you can see the whole trip. Driving 50 miles won't move the fuel gauge. I know many people don't want to believe us, I don't blame them but somedays the truth will come out.
And yet, strangely enough, not a single customer of the miraculous technology has bothered to post bragging of their results.
Can I interest anyone in a set of slightly used high performance muffler bearings?
EXCUSE ME! The perpetual motion machine has obviously finally been developed.

Uh-huh. Tell you what, when I get that $100 million from the ex- Nigerian finance minister, I'll get back in touch with you.

Sorry if you were you a victim of that trick, keep in mind though if you keep negative thinking in your mind it will hurt you later or sooner. For example, if you were to sell something on Craigslist, and your buyer is a serious buyer, you could lose your selling chance.
A scammer can lie in a few generic letters, he/she cannot put every event in a single video. Here's what I'll to open your heart. I will produce an "uninterruptible video" to show you a Seattle-to-Olympia trip (75 miles trip), so you can see all instrumentation on my vehicle together with the cities. You will be shock to see the fuel gauge refusing to come down, until 40 miles you'll see 1/2 gallon moving down. You can send me your security tape/sticker for me to seal my gas cap, to make sure I won't add more fuel.
Do you realize my credit score is 835 ? and I almost pay off my house? I am shooting for a long term.
Write to me and I will address your concern: snipped-for-privacy@extra150miles.com
Scammers usually give you generic email: gmail.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com,

I just stocked up on blinker fluid & knutson valves, so I'll have to pass. I also installed cross drilled brake lines, so I'll never have to replace brake pads again.

Among some of us Brits there is this notion that Americans don't do irony.
They should study some of the exchanges with GasSaver...

On a 650 mile super highway trip from DC to Detroit I got 32.5 miles per gallon on a 1990 Honda Accord LX 4dr with automatic transmission using a 2.2L motor. A skilled hypermiler probably could have gotten even better.
The report's I've heard is that in the hands of a skilled/Hypermiler driver a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid can get over 50 mpg and a
2009 Toyota Prius can get over 75 mpg.To gain the maximum advantage, a gas electric hybrids requires that the driver learn a new skill set - not everyone will be willing or capable of doing so.
Extra150miles.com is selling an on board diagonistic II (OBD II) instantaneous fuel efficiency display (iFED) called the Scan Gauge II which requires that your car be newer than 1997 if I recall correctly. This after market iFED cost about $150 to $180 dollars most of the time. CleanMpg.com review of "Scan Gauge II" indicates it can help the driver gain about a 20% increase in fuel Efficiency (FE). An iFED tells the driver how to save fuel by showing the car's instanteous fuel usage. Reports I have read on the internet suggest very light subcompacts like the
2009 Honda Fit benefit the most from iFEDs; subcompacts could increase their FE by about 40%. - Smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic, more fuel efficent vehicles would benefit more from a iFED than a larger, heavier, less aerodynamic, less fuel efficent vehicle like the Hummer H2.Mileage improvenment gained from using any iFED (aka Scan Gauge II) is dependent on the driver learning how to slowly accelerate, coasting when going down hill, learning slow down going uphill, doing a technique called a Pulse and Glide (P&G) on flat terrain, keeping the car speed under 45mph, not stopping (e.g. adjusting the car's speed to match green lights at traffic lights), turning off the a/c, rolling up the windows, reducing the weigh/cargo of the car, and keeping the tires at their max rated inflation for lowest rolling resistant. There are also additional FE techniques available to PHEV and HEV which are not relevant to non PHEV/HEVs..
Most new cars (from GM anyway) have this function built in to the engine management computer and dashboard display.
No need to buy it again from the Scan Gauge folks or Extra150miles.com.
The weakness is that it is optionally displayed, not by default all the time. And the intervals are not sensible to help as much as possible in tuning your driving habits.
Also, in the owner's manual they do not explain very well if at all how to increase your mileage using the display.
I would hazard an estimate that if all manufacturers would display this information all the time by default, and make it slightly more useful and accurate by doing a running average over a short time period like approx. 3 to 5 seconds, and also educated drivers on how to use it, we would see a vast reduction in gas-guzzling driving habits like speeding, jack-rabbit starts, speeding up to a red light, trying to maintain speed up steep hills (like your stupid cruise control does), and other things that hit you right in the wallet.
By watching the display, but still travelling at a fair clip at the right times, I regularly get 30+ mpg (imp.) in my 2009 Chev Uplander Van.
If you only knew what it was costing you to drive like Jensen Button, we'd never have a gas shortage!
Why don't you try a Jetta TDI that gets 50mpg on diesel and will climb those hills with the AC on.
The US car companies are feeding you all full of bullshit. They could easily make a diesel hybrid that could get 80mpg but they WILL NOT!
Problem is US auto doesn't know how to make them. Seriously.
Even Chrysler has Cummins do it. Duramax is a hangover but hardly car material.
OK Mr. Engineer - please enlighten us... how could they produce this 80 mpg diesel easily? No one else is doing it, but US companies could do it easily? Beyond your bullshit, just what do you have to substantiate this claim?
Get real! If any auto manufacture could build a vehicle, that buyers would want to buy that got 80 MPG, they certainly would built it.
Think about it, dummy, they would control the market with such a vehicle. LOL
Published in the January 2001 issue.
Did I say diesel peckerhead? I said hybrid diesel. And yes, VW makes an
80mpg diesel; easily.
Too bad they don't make them.
We know American pigs like to waste and pollute as much as they can.
