Well, here are some suggestions:

1. There are mpg measuring instruments that you plug into a cars ODB
connector.
2. Can you hook up your device in some standalone electric generator?
Pour half a gallon, or lower, of gas and run the engine and measure
the time before it dies out. Compare it with the engine having no
device installed.
3. Briefly explain the theory of your product.
4. Get a DMV inspection before and after, and show the results
5. The security seal on the tank is a great idea. Have some reputable
third party involvement like AAA. AAA WA will seal the tank and AAA CA
will verify
6. Team up with bus companies where the driver / passenger will verify
the seal and mileage of your car from start to finish.
7. Get a service from Infiniti or Mercedes Benz and talk to the
service manager and tell us what they think about your car.

Hope you like these suggestions and good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion, I like your idea for the most part, except that
this theory isn't just a single device, it is the integration of new
technology and the improvement of the old technology. It won't be easy to
undo the work, because it took me 3 days to integrate and test them
together, so it will take equal time to undo and redo to use your method of
measurement. I used the Fuel meter and known distance to measure the
performance along with my calculator. It's a simple math any one can
understand, because Distance, MPG and hours to drive are all related, plus
you know your Tank capacity. On the Mercedes, there is a built-in Computer
that tells you the MPG which is nice.

DMV and Manufacturer's comment is important. These are always in the
FAQ's,
1. Will it void my car's warranty?
2. Is this damage my vehicle?
3. Will my car pass inspection?

First you need to submit your vehicle to a well respected test agency,
to obtain an independent realistic report from their standard test
circuit.
Consumer Reports?

Your last comments above have created doubt in my mind.
Sounds a bit like the French air car, which hasn't burned up the roads.
