Default CA40

Anyone ever tried this, can look at it at www.ca40g.com. Supposed to help gas milage by 15%, they say its best in newer dodges. Guy i was talking to said in his 1500 ram he got 15% or better fuel economy. Think im gonna go pick some up today and test out the quart size, i think for 30 dollars for a quart of it, and it lasts 32 full tank fills, it should be worth it.

Sounds like snake oil.

If it really worked the major oil companies would be all over it like stink on ****. (just think of the advertising our gas gives you 15% better milage)

It definitely sounds like snake oil. But I also doubt the oil companies would use it, the last thing they want is people getting better mileage.

if it worked an oil company would jump on it they would put the competion out of business then they could charge what ever they wanted.

Possibly, there's a lot of antitrust and anti-monopoly legislation to deal with there though...

It sounds like the old "Marvel mystery oil". it has some good
uses. works pretty good to clean the fuel system up.
and i bet the mystery oil is a lot less $$$$
