Fuel Additives

I have a guy who has approached me to invest in his company. He claims to have created a fuel additive system that can double a semi trucks MPG.

I am skeptical. Has anyone here ever used a fuel additive system that actually improved MPG? If so by how much?

 

Double mileage?
Tell him you will trade him some ocean front property in Nebraska for it.

 

Man this is guy is about to become a gazillionaire x20.....better give him some money!!

 

I see no way to double the fuel mileage unless trucks were built like a train with Diesel engine that just powers the electric engine. This will never happen though.

 

I'd trade him some of my pictures of bigfoot for a percentage of that one.

 

ok ok I get it but does any kind of additive actually improve miles in any significant way?

 

My experience is no. Did a in depth experiment a while back. Used pen & paper..speedo miles. (No computer read out). Jmo

 

Nope.

Trucks got 5 mpg 40 years ago and they are approaching 7 today. He's generations too late. /snarky.

 

I have run various Opti-lube products in my fuel tank and can’t say I notice a whole ton of performance change. Now the fuel itself from different locations and vendors can vary the performance of the engine pretty #### wildly. (Smoke/MPG/EGT/power/etc)

 

Check out Pittsburgh Power, they jave a Fuel Born Catalyst that works fantastic. I have been using it for about 2 months now and I'm up a minimum of half mile to a gallon. It also cuts the soot way down. I wil say that if you don't track fuel mileage don't bother. Most don't have a good 30, 60, 90 day average so how do you it's working. Give it try, the cost comes out to about $2.00 an oz. I personally have doubled my ROI using it.
