Better Gas Mileage

Could be better but the prise is arround $300 .
Anybody know where IS selled in CA.

 

If you're talking about the Eco Systems thing, it's not "sold" anywhere anymore AFAIK since the company went under. Or at least the website no longer exists. Assuming false advertising lawsuits or something similar shut them down.

 

it seems to have moved here it is now http://www.etieco.com/ what is the verdict

 

Hi I would like to know if is better to use one scan millage for haver more mpg anybody have one. thanks

 

My dad has a 06' GMC Yukon. He always goes by the electronic reading that GM has conveniently integrated into the dash readout. I have never seen this number change more than 1mpg. I drove the thing one summer over a 200 mile round trip tracking the mileage by what I put in the tank and I came up with 15/16mpg cruising at 60mph on a 2 lane flat highway. He didn’t want to listen to me when I told him the actual mileage he was getting. It is really funny when he comes to Phoenix to visit during the winter months (snowbirds). The first thing he complains about is the ethanol here added to reduce CO emissions. His mileage here is down near the 14/15mpg yet the reading on the dash says 19mpg. Haaaa! Is it any wonder GM, Ford and Chrysler are bleeding $$$. I owned GM all my life until 06’ when I purchased a Highlander Hybrid which gets 27 consistently average City/Highway and has more HP than my Tacoma at 270. I purchased my Taco in May of 07’ to replace my Chevy truck. My Chevy was much more heavy duty but but in the long run I am quite pleased with my mileage. I consistently get 18mpg in town with AC running 9months of the year. The 2 road trips I took were better than I expected at 20.5/21.5mpg.

 

what happened to the site? its for sale/auction?

 

There is no solution for replacing foreign oil with domestic oil. Read these links and then make some comments.

If we hit the best possible scenario with ANWR we would have maybe 2.7 years of oil at the current rate of consumption of 20Million BPD. This will have no impact for 8-10years minimum. Anybody wonder why the Oil companies won't be jumping on the offshore drilling that has been opened up with the new energy bill. The answer is that the cost outweighs the current price per barrel at over $100. There is a clear and plain reason why so much land is leased and never drilled. It comes down to $$$. The oil companies sit on these expensive prospects until the time comes when we haven't weaned ourselves off oil and the Middle East is dry. Sorry to break the news but the real solution is hydrogen fuel cells merged with 40% or better efficiency solar panels and electric motors which average better than 80% efficiency and have reliability that far exceeds the internal combustion engine. Anyone wonder why freight trains and open pit mining trucks run off petroleum generated electric motors (efficiency). Not to mention the fact that no transmission in the world would work hauling these kinds of loads. The advantages don’t stop there. They have a stall torque of 5-10 RPM and generate much more HP per unit of energy than any ICE ever will. There is a virtually limitless supply of H2 on the planet that just needs some intelligent thought and innovation to put to use. If you support Drill baby Drill then you might as well drill a hole in your head because this solution uses no logic or intelligent thought.

 

I found no increase with the VPE installed. I actual went down in MPG with it installed. The only conclusions I could figure out why was i installed it on a truck with 900 miles on it and a CAI. I now have 20K and was thinking about installing it again and see what happens.

 

A little OT but what pressure do you run in your tires?

 

38psi all around. It seems to be the closest to keeping the Destination A/Ts flat on the road and still give decent MPG.

 

SO Does IT Work or not?

Reduce weight Get better GAS mileage.

Run smaller tires yes better gas mileage.

Run max tire pressure yes better gas

stay off your foot yes

keep air filter clean yes especially if it is dirty

get a skinnier girlfriend YES

Let off the gas pedal when you see the RED light and Such

WHAT ELSE BOYS/GIRLS.......................

 

Walk - the human body is much more efficient in the long run.

 

There is more then enough oil to run the world for ~100years. Even with an increase from countries like Asia and India...................

The price dictates ever thing..........Not Bush or anyone else. Oil is cheap even at 100$ barrel. Smarter ways to use it will have to happen. We are wasteful as humans. No one but High prices will stop that.

World consumption is around 84 Billion barrels a day. Supply is ~82-84 BPD...............

We get oil from other countries because it is cheaper, Water operted cars, elect cars all work but not quite practical yet.........I wish they were.....

The CURE FOR HIGHER prices is.............................Higher prices!

I work around the world in Oil, own shares in Canda oil company and LOVE IT. Ask me questions if you like.

 

Cat converters are working on the byproducts of completely burned fuel, not unburned fuel.

 

I couldn't agree more. This product would be in every care. None of 'these products' are though. Why not? Real world test?.. too many variables, not double blind. I've read about 65% of this thread, started at the beginning, can't wait to see how it ends!

 

I've just read the whole thing and the 8 pages of results and I would dissagress, there were no (significant) provable increases in fuel economy that were caused by this device. Was there and increase, YES. Was is significant (open to interpretation but..) NO. More importantly, was it directly caused by this device, UNKNOWN. It is an intersting read (LONG read) but doesn't prove anything. Is there any harm in it, probably not. Will it do as it claims, maybe. There are too many factors that can't be controlled in the manner it was tested. Was it a good experiment, yeah and thanks to those who spent time trying to keep it organized. Should you buy it, make your own decision. Many of the 'mods' we make are purely to satisfy our desire to tinker. $450 for a TRD exhaust and $350 for a TRD intake for what, a proven 1-2+ mgp? Is that worth it? Not on a cost benifit level as the time it takes to recoup the cost is too long, but does it sound cool? Yeah!
Speedman was right about there not being a lot of hard science on this thing. The jury is still out. Drive easier, get the same results. buy it if you like to tinker. I doubt it hurts and it might help.

 

^^ couldn't agree more. The efficiencies of our cars are pretty much what they are. The only way to really save gas have been mentioned already (ie tires, light foot, etc) If someone really wanted to improve gas mileage, maybe someone could try a gas turbine mod!

 

^Or buy another vehicle. There's nothing wrong with trying to get the best MPG you can out of a vehicle but in the end it's a truck and the MPG ratings are right there on the window sticker. You know what you're getting into from first glance.

 

It is 84 Billion barrels a day???? 3,060,000,000,000 a year?
