Use of the ScanGauge II, pictured on your home page, which will show you how to improve your driving habits to improve MPG. However, your use of this gauge as proof of the MPG gained with your system is misleading. I have a ScanGauge II mounted on my dashboard. I have a 1997 Nissan PU with the 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder FI engine which EPA Highway rating was 19 MPG at the time of its manufacture. The figures on your ScanGauge are no proof of anything that you have done. I can get any MPG reading, RPM reading, or even gallons used per hour on my ScanGauge by merely letting up on the gas pedal at any speed. At 80 miles per hour, I can get a MPG reading in the hundreds by taking my foot off the gas pedal. Letting up on the gas pedal and pushing the clutch in when going downhill.will give me a 9999 MPG reading. When someone uses a deception as proof of something, as you have, I feel there are more deceptive statements lurking in their 'proofs'. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County.

This is exactly right. Nothing on the website proves or even explains anything. Yes, we (and every automotive engineer) know that friction and the combustion processes have inefficiencies. Auto companies have spent billions to minimize these losses with significant results. Now you have a mystery tune-up that magically triples gas mileage and you are hawking it on usenet. Is there any real question why NO ONE takes you seriously. You are either a fraud or a lunatic. |

Back when I started driving in the early 50s, I bought almost every gas saving device offered by snake salesman. This one provides a 20% increase in gas mileage, this other one provides a 30% savings in gas, etc. etc. I had over a 100% percent savings in gas after all were installed. The only problem I had was that about every 100 miles or so, I had to stop and drain some of the gas out of the tank because it would overflow otherwise. :-) -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County.

Joe sorry I don't understand what you're trying to tell me with your car and our video. Don';t be confused with dynamic MPG display with Average MPG display. Go to Scangauge or just forget it for now, I will show you a new proof you'd never seen before. A full video of a 75 miles trip from Seattle to Olympia to prove that our fixes make a big difference, to show you all instrumentation on the car itself and you can send me your security sticker to seal the gas cap to make sure I won't add any more fuel. You will see the fuel gauge refusing to come down after 35 miles driving, after 40 miles it will come down about 1/2 a gallon. I will squeeze that video to compressed size so you won't have to spend 1-hr watching it. >> I can get any MPG reading, RPM reading, or even gallons used per >>hour on my ScanGauge by merely letting up on the gas pedal at any speed. >>At 80 miles per hour, I can get a MPG reading in the hundreds by taking >>my foot off the gas pedal.

Joe, you misunderstand, OFS doesn't make Scangauge, the scanguageII showing 9999MPG is not our deceptive proof of anything, It is a Scangauge way of telling people that the fuel line is cut off by a car computer, they say but I can't substantiate that claim.

Yes you know about frictions but you don't do anything about them, that's what eat your pocket up alive, further more you standardize the frictions in your brake system.

The Prius is _not_ a little car by any means, and it does extremely well in crash tests. Ask the SUV driver who rear-ended my car last summer how well a Prius holds up in an accident.
