    Exactly my point.

    Most of us are old enough to understand there are NO get rich quick plans. But they sell the hell out of those plans every day. Since I haven't bought and paid for a get rich quick plan. Is my opinion of those plans significantly less creditable than those who have bought them?

    And you try to discredit a previous posters "opinion" based on the fact he opted out of testing a product. Because he felt his words and opinions were being used in a misleading way....by the manufacturer.

    Increased fuel economy "gimmicks" have been around for years. I recall a bolt on, in line product....from the 70's. It praised doubling of fuel economy. A lot of people bought them. Until it was proven to be a lie. I didn't buy one then. Wouldn't buy one now.

    Simple bolt on units are the leading horse s### products. Easy to make, easy to install. ALL are worthless.

    Here's one for you guys to take apart.

    Until manufacturers decrease injector tip size...and increase fuel pressures. You'll gain minimal fuel economy and horse power improvements. Toro proved this years ago. Detroit is moving in the right direction. But the gap is slow in closing.

    Dice I gonna have to call you out on this. You know there is a lot of drivers that respect your decisions on things like this. If it like the T3000 why not test it and prove it. It free and as far a a professional mechanic to install and uninstall it, It take about 5 min or less and on my volvo not one wrench. With a 100% money back guarantee and 5 min of you time you have nothing to loose and if it is a con you can save some driver from purchasing it. But I can say I have seen a noticable increse in fuel mileage. And I dont sugar coat anything. I dont know Eco-Taz or Ben or whom ever so I could careless wheather the product sells or not so I am not going to lie about my results. Had I not seen an increase I would have said so.

    This is my last post on the matter. I'm tired of fighting eco-wars. I don't care if you think it's bunk. It worked for me. You and Dice do not have a leg to stand on. Just un-informed opinions. Been beat to death a thousand times, slick sales gimmick or not, there really isn't anything to lose except a half hour of your time by trying it out. And coming from a situation like I did (a long time ago I didn't have a pot to piss in) to where I'm at now I definitely don't need someone preaching to me about sales gimmicks.

    I gained .4mpg overall with the ECOTAZ on my dedicated run. Same weight, same route, same roads, 2700 miles a week. I know it worked on my truck and that is all i can say.......

    I have ran the ECO w/o my tuner on the truck for 3 months now.
    My avg before was 6.9mpg, and I was up to 7.2mpg before I left the dedicated run.

    I now have my tuner and the ECO on and it still runs fine.

    Now there is an idea I would go for.
    I would take 1000 units straight away.
    $100 to the driver for to idle and drive as he pleases.
    $400 x 1000 units = 1 happy customer.:biggrin_2559:

    I bought one in july of last yr. Like i told Ben i had my cluth replaced at the same time. My mileage went up 1.2, i was getting around 5.6 to 5.8 . Now , im averaging 6.6 to 6.8. Dont really know for sure if it works. I can honestly say it runs smoother. I dont understand how someone can bash a product , without testing it. I think it was wrong to say it dont work ,, without testing it.

    I find it interesting that people would look down on Ben because he is promoting his product. "He is a salesman"

    We would all be sitting if it wasn't for salesmen.

    I have posted my results and will add that Ben has been a man of his word.

    The OP... Well at least he was able to communicate with all his adoring fans. :biggrin_25514:

    I just find it odd someone would spend that much money with "micro blue" but wouldnt test a "free" product that Ben offered to have a guy meet him and install it??
