    Thank You for the info posted. Even with your tire issue negatively affecting your mileage, you still had a 4.4 percent increase in mpg. At $3.79 per gallon that equates to .03 cents per mile savings. On your 7,862 miles driven with ECO-Systens you put an extra $235.86 in your pocket.
    I look forward to your posts later on.

    Ok Mr wannabe. I'm not here to convince you nor anyone else. Skepticism is a good thing. I know from the user names testing the units that we're all regular members of the forum with a history here. We're all experienced drivers and we've surely all been exposed to snake oil before. Anyways, if you dont have anything nice to say about other people kindly don't say anything at all.
     
    BigBadBill and BigJohn54 Thank this.

    For the Members of TTR I have gotten approval for the extension of the Introductory Offer plus an Extra Option.

    The Intro Price of $375.00 for the ECO #5 is available from Today thru September 29th 2011. We will have a link available later today.

    The extra option will be that you can purchase with 2 Payments as well. If you want to purchase now you can pay for 1/2 payment of $375.00 which would be $187.50. Your next payment will be in 30 days for the Balance of $187.50.
    So you pay $187.50 now -- We ship the unit and Install kit to you now -- then in 30 days we bill you for the balance of $187.50.

    This gives you the opportunity to save enough in fuel savings to pay the balance.

    On the link we will provide later you will have both options available. Just check the one you want -- 1 Payment of $375.00
    or 2 Payments of $187.50

    As a business owner I am always looking for ways to improve my operation. I have seen many opportunities that I have passed on for various reasons. When the offer to test this came about I was skeptical as it seemed just like the Turbo 3000. And I have known many people that wasted money on these devices.

    Even when it was being sent to me I was not 100% certain I would install it. Even a free test can be costly if you are sitting on the side of the road because this “magic” device causes problems. But once I saw I realized that the worst case would be that I am spending 20-mins on the side of the road removing it.

    Now I am a business man and keep detailed records of my operation. I am also a professional driver and can look at a hill and based on my load have a good idea what gear I will be in when I get to the top. I know my truck.

    Immediately with this device I saw a power increase. That has not changed since installed. Have not seen a trip in the 5’s and more in the 7’s than I have ever seen. So far I have seen an .8/gal increase. I would expect that to decrease a little when winter arrives. But when comparing same trips to before and after I see .5 to 1.3 increase.

    So I may be an idiot but this idiot is making better money thanks to this snake oil.

    One round this week, north central Iowa to western Kansas, then back to southwest Missouri over to Oklahoma and north to northeast Nebraska then reload in northwest Iowa and home. Average gross weight was 79,610 pounds on the four loads, 238 empty miles, 2000 total miles, average speed 62-65 mph. Used 337.30 gallons of fuel for a weekly average of 5.93mpg. Call it snake oil or whatever you want, that's almost a .5 mpg increase over my baseline of 5.44mpg. I to will continue to test the unit, and post my results. Thanks for the opportunity Ben.

    Thanks NEVS, 5.93 up from 5.44 is a 9% percent fuel savings. At $3.79 a gallon of diesel that is .34 cents a gallon in savings. This equates to 6.27 cents per mile raise you gave yourself. This week on your 2000 mile trip with the ECO-System you kept $125.00 in your pocket and did not throw it into the fuel pump.

    To bigbadbill and rollin coal:
    You are both great guys and I am sorry if I have offended you or anyone else. You have not, however, achieved any change in your fuel mileage, whatsoever. None, nada, zip! I can say this with certainty, because there is no scientific or engineering principle upon which this device can improve fuel use.
    In order to prove this to yourself, you must do a controlled test. Test under equal load, temperature, humidity, fuel, temperature of fuel, road conditions, etc. Account for the inherent error in this or any other test. You have not done that. If and when you do, you will determine that you have been had. Guaranteed!

    ANYONE (myself included) would be subject to a certain level of bias knowing that the device had been installed on their vehicle. It has nothing to do with any of the individual's character or reputation. Simply stated, the results posted here are highly subjective.

    As rsfriend points out - a controlled, objective measure is needed.

    This is by no means an indictment of the posters in this thread (whom I both applaud for taking the time to post in this forum as well as respect for their opinions), it is merely pointing out that the results are much less than proof positive of the device's effectiveness.
