I started using a fuel treatment product about 6 months ago. I was skeptical and had low expectations. I have used this product diligently with each and every fill and I have noticed improved mileage (I got 80 more km -25% more km) with my last fill, my car has more pep and feels like it goes up hills easier.
I love this product so much that I have started to share it with everyone I know. It even comes with a money back guarantee. It is amazing to me.
Let me know if you would like more information.

Hi Karen:
Welcome to CleanMPG!
As the EPA has taken all of these snake oils to task and how we usually receive from 20 to 100% beyond our vehicles EPA ratings simply by driving them in a far more efficient manner, may I suggest you consider driving more efficiently without any additives and watch your fuel savings really sky rocket?
I can warp a cardboard tube around your intake and you will get better fuel economy simply because of the placebo effect. I can only say “trust me” as I may (or may not) know what I am talking about :)
Let me know if you want some real Snake Oil as we have found the following pic to be quite appropriate for this kind of discussion many many times in the past... And now that gasoline has surpassed $3.00 per gallon all over again, we'll pull it out of retirement as the requests for more snake oil come in :)

Good Luck

Karen,
Making a 1st post that borders on spam is a very bad intro.
Try talking about yourself, your ride, not being commercial, please.

Nothing new under the sun Karen.
The various additives can have some uses-clean out fuel system varnish maybe clean gunk out of CC.
However most stock gasoline has adequate additives to do the above.
25% FE IMPROVEMENT is an outright lie!
CAI's, catback exhausts, Tornado intake spacers,aftermarket performance headers, tuner chips are also ripoffs-FE wise- though many folks honestly think they have proven otherwise
" put CAI on my 5.3 Silverado and get 2-3 mpg better( 15-20%)" wish I had $10 for every time I have read that on some forum.
It is VERY VERY DIFFICULT to beat the OEM engineering for part throttle FE. No podunk aftermarket engineer is going to beat Toyota Ford or GM engineers with some $159 CAI.
NOT FOR PART THROTTLE FE.
None of the FE add ons are really new- just the same scams we saw 40 years ago "100 mpg carb suppressed by oil companies" was a regular ad in mags years ago.

PS There are "things" you can buy that work.
1)Lighter wheels tires-and don't carry junk in trunk.
2) Lower RR tires.
3)Weight loss-all types.
4) Regearing- expensive.
5)Aero modding- expensive and not always practical.
6)Modify central control unit- the driver- Free and essentially a free lunch with longer component life(brakes, engine, transmission, differential, tires)-cost is maybe 1%-3% increase in driving time.

Does each bottle of "fuel treatment" come with a free "power box" that improves FE by 10MPG and adds 100HP? :p
