AJ, don't let em get you down. We'll just be the ones getting better performance, cleaner burn, and better mileage.
It's all ours..... don't share it with the skeptics......  :IBCOOL:

You are correct killbilly, we will be and i am...........atleast we are and were willing to try it, so we could see if it was a fake, or some kind of skam, like all those stupid diet pills, or other name products..........


ALCHASE, i am an Aviation Maintanace Technician(work on Helicopter jet engines) also a Hazmat Cordinator(I know where alot of chemicals stand farther than one wants to even understand or go into depths of explaining) , trust me i understand what lubricants, additives, ETC. and what all the crap and talk is of products that are out there........You could say i am overly educated when it comes to using chemicals and other compounds......But you are probably right, it probably doesnt work? ? ?

Except the fact that i tried it, and the difference is NOTICABLE, i have tried it several times, both my vehicles have close to 100,000 miles on them anyways, and im not worried about voiding any warrenty. Even though it wont(which i am getting more literature on)...and higher gas mileage, car is running cooler, and it sounds better.......and ultimately my vehicle will last longer because it is wearing down less......

funny thing is i just ran it tonight in my 31cc Ryobi weedwacker and in my mid 1970's Promac 60/ 63cc Mculloch Chain saw, with only 5 gallons of gas, and 1 ounce of ETHOS FR and ran it bone dry twice and it was running better than with a 2 cycle oil mix......didnt even use a 2 cycle oil in with it.....only fuel and ETHOS.

But KillBilly you are correct.......i dont have to share any of this info with my friends if they dont believe me.....I WAS JUST TRYING TO LET YOU ALL IN ON SOMETHING THAT FOR ONCE IN A MILLION YEARS ACTUALLY DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES.........

THANKS KILLBILLY!

Ive recently been looking into doing a propane conversion. anybody ever tried it. propane is around 2.89 a gal. conversion price for a fuel injected vehicle is 1200-1800 bucks. a carberated version for several hundred.  anyone ever run a propane rig?

We had a few of them in the military, Chevy vans I think they were. OK mileage but completely gutless. I won't have one, but that's my experience with them

i had a former co-worker who had a propane conversion done on his truck, but didn't use it...i think he bought the truck with it already there.

what we need is some fuel stations with ethanol around here. most of the newer vehicles are flex-fuel capable and that is a good way to go. 10% worse fuel mileage, 10% more horsepower but significantly cheaper by the gallon to buy, plus great for american farmers.

AJ-your info from ethos is not going to convince me of any warranty info. get something on paper from the vehicle manufacturers saying it won't affect the warranty and then we'll talk. the manufacturers are the ones who decide what is warranty-able and what is not, not ethos.

As others have already said, it's a scam. Just my opinion but I'd bet my life on it.

Coast hunter, somebody really got you sucked into this one!

I wonder...you keep mentioning about how it improved your gas mileage, but you don't say how much?  :dunno:  Have you actually checked your gas mileage, or do you just go by approximately how many miles you get out of a tank of gas? Give us some numbers. What was your mpg's before, and what is it now, after using this magical stuff?

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, V-8 Engine....

I got about 300-330(i had to drive into town and fill a 5 gallon can of gas to fill my jeep because i wouldnt have made it into town it was so empty) at best filled up to the top before ever using ETHOS FR.......


Now using ETHOS FR for the first time it is recommended to double the usuall dosage because it is suppose to clean first so 4 ounces to 20 gallons of fuel (know i understand)...and just driving around town the first tank i saw nothing......330 that was usuall at highway driving......so i said no improvement (not enough for me atleast), I thought just like you that this crap sucks, i got screwed! I just blew a bunch of money and its a scam......im pissed......so i called my buddie up who got me on this stuff (someone that i have known for over 6 years and trust highly, not just an aquantince) and he explained it is still going through its cleaning phase and to give it some time, and try it again.....so against my best judgment because he is my friend i listened to his crap and i did......on my second fill up and adding only 2 ounces of ETHOS FR to 20 Gallons of gas, i got about 360-370 miles to the tank.....I am on my third complete fill up from full to empty.....i am at 350 miles and have a little less than a quarter tank left over, which mean ill be hitting the 400 mark soon.....

WORKS FOR ME...........75 to 100 Miles improvement to the tank is deffinantly worth it......

YOU MAY NOT BE A BELIEVER BUT I AM!

But i also understand where you all are comming from.....i thought the same thing, untill my friend told me to shut up and just try it.....if anything i could return it if i was dissapointed, and get my money back no questions asked.....

But i wont be returning it anytime soon.......

If you really want to test this stuff, you need to learn how to calculate your miles per gallon. It's not hard. When you fill up, divide the number of miles by the number of gallons. You need to do this more than once. It's best to take an average over a couple of months time for it to really mean anything. So do this with your Jeep without using your magic chemical stuff for a while. Then use the magic stuff for a couple months and come up with an average again. After all that testing come back here and give us your numbers. I doubt they'll be any different. With a V8 in a Jeep I'd guess you'll be getting about 15 miles per gallon, with or without the expensive liquid additive.

Dude you are obviously smarter than i am so do the math yourself...

The numbers are right there.....you had time to write it out to explain it to all of us........lol.... :chuckle:

i figure i was getting about 16-18 MPG and am now seeing 20-22mpg......

That was tested several times (plenty of befor checks i have always gotten aound 300 to  tank, give or take some for driving conditions) and are numbers that i am seeing continuely(oh besides the fact that recently everytime i add ETHOS to my tank i get better and better gas mileage, which i can figure out know thanks to you,  :tup: ) but am now seeing in 400 to a tank......

Instead of telling AJ how to do something he already knows how to do, why don't you invest $29.00 and do the test yourself and see if you can prove him wrong. It's kinda like put up or shut up.... besides if you buy a bottle, you'll bring my stock in the comapny up.... :chuckle: :IBCOOL:

You've got to be joking?  :dunno:

Nope. I won't waste my money on that crap. And how was I to know he knew how to calculate mpg's? All he would post is how many miles he got per tank. I assumed he didn't keep track of how many gallons he was putting in at each fill up. That part of the equation is kind of important. You can't just say well, I got only 300 miles out of a tank last time and this time I got 400. For that to mean anything he would have to put the same amount of gas in each time. Otherwise it could just be that when he gets 400 miles out of a tank he almost ran it dry, whereas when only getting 300 miles he still had 5 gallons left in the tank.

If he really wants to save money on gas he should trade that Jeep in for something with an engine a little smaller than a V8, like a Toyota Prius. Then he won't need a "fuel fix."

AJ, between this thread and your bear calling thread I am really starting to wonder about your motives. :dunno:
