Default ca 40g

anyone heard of a fuel additive called ca40g? It's supposed to give about 10% better milage. Anyone tried it? If so please post results.

I don't have any peronal experience, but I wouldn't really belive anything you read about fuel additives. Most of them are just made out of jet fuel and dry out your fuel system components.
Think about it, if it really made that much of a difference, don't you think EVERYONE would know about it? Especially with gas costing what it does...

Only additive I'll stand by is marvel mystery oil. Good stuff there. EVERYONE will tell you

It's based in canolla oil,or so the web site says. check it out www.ca40g.com. A few guys at work are running it and they say it helps. Just looking for other opinions

My girlfriends dad uses it... and swears it works. I looked into it once... and decided against it. I saw severalpeople online commentthatit didn't make a bit of difference for them. But, they were able to get their money back (which the company states on their website as well). I was thinking about just trying it - since it appears I coulda refund if it didn't work - but that's about where I left it.

After doing some reading, I think I'm going to opt to put my money in a fastman TB.

Good luck!

Forget the fastman throttle body man. Go for the fuel injected 6 pack

I think additives are alot in your head...

My frineds dad swears by "zmax" when I have read tests where it proves it does nothing.
This last oil change, I used 1 quart of marvels in place of normal oil... so its 4 quarts of normal oil, and 1 of mmo.

usually my oil stays pretty clean, but this time like 300 miles after my oil is really dark... that tells me that its cleaning. if you were to look at my oil right now you would think there is like 4000-5000 miles on it, when there is only like 2000... but it doesnt smell even the slightest bit like combustion... mmo cleans pretty good in there.

This may just be "a good batch of gas" but when I first used mmo in my tank (and in my oil) I averaged 16mpg in my tank after like 280 miles... that was 1/2 and 1/2 using A/C and pretty much all city driving... Ive gotten better milage... but not with this type of driving...

MMO has been around for years, and is pretty well proven to work in some way, although it doesnt work as good as the bottle says it does.
