A friend called me from Wisconsin this week. He and the wife have been traveling the States for over a year in their motor home. He has been getting 5 mpg routinely including when we tagged along with them last year to Arizona. In July he bought two bottles of Ethos and followed the directions. He is now getting 7mpg, that is 150 miles more per tankful than before. This has been consistant for the last 3 tankfuls.

I am having difficulty with accepting this but my friend is a no BS guy.

Anybody running this stuff?

The high quality website and expertly crafted graphics tell me the product definitely works. But I'll reserve judgment until someone with experience chimes in

 

This is a repost.

Ethos is essentially an ester oil, similar to the lubricant used in modern automotive AC units. It will boost the octane slightly, and it absorbs water. Since is it an actual oil, and not an alchohol per se, it will burn with a little more energy than ethanol. For the purposes of cleaning your injectors or boosting your octane, it is better than your typical product, but unless you are using gasoline that is a lower octane than what you should, or you are buying gas with a lot of suspended water, it will not improve your mileage at all.

It is also a lot more expensive than your typical octane boost product, so in the long run it is not really worth the extra money.

 

snake oil... i dont think there is a product that will increase gas mileage by 40% or else everybody would be using it no questions asked.

 

if gabriel says it, it must be true

 

It's a common sense thing. If a small additive could increase mileage by that much, then every car company on the planet would be trying to buy it and then installing a separate tank in the car to inject measured amounts of this additive into the fuel tank. That, or it wouldn't be on the market, because one of the oil companies would buy it for a billion dollars.

Common sense, people, common sense.

 

To make cleaner exhaust, you can also add a second catalytic converter. Subaru has done this on their impreza (not WRX or STi) and they claim "you could breath the exhaust and it is cleaner than breathing the air in Toronto"

they fail to tell you that the extra cat just reduces emissions by completing combustion and if you breath it you will still die because there is no O2 in it.

The gimmicks that companies are coming up with these days blow my mind sometimes, and consumers on average, just don't know any better.

 

I read it on the internets, it must be true.
