    Your going to see more and more of these showing up, They even had old Daniel Dingle on TV Patrol claiming he drove from Manila to Baguio on 4L of water, This guy must believe his own lies at this point. They also had the the F2020 maker on there claiming 35% increase in fuel savings.

    I'm sure there are many people on here over the years that have fallen for these slick marketing scams over the years.

    There is to much info out there now on the internet for this to happen, I think pretty much every scam device, Pill, Plug in gadget, Pour in the tank scam has been busted on this sight.

    That would be Mike Potenciano, and his statement does fall short of an outright endorsement of F2020.

    A co-worker of mine is already inquiring on where he could get some for his Avanza.

    Hahaha... someone already texted me about the F2020. Sure, you can save 30 out of 100 liters of gas with that. As long as you buy 30 liters of it...

    Katangahan yun... if they tell you they need to "adjust" your engine to run better with it... why not just adjust the vehicle... period? hmmm... I"ll bring my car there. No manual idle adjustment, no distributor adjustment, nothing. Let's see his damn additive work on that...

    Additives are octane boost and cleaners... period. For 500 pesos per tank, I could go down to Petron Conneticut and buy race gas at +3 to +5 octane per tank, as opposed to the +1 or +0.5 octane these additives would give. Only octane booster known to give more than just 1 number AKI or RON is then one from Martini, and that costs an arm and a leg.

    And this is all assuming that other cars adjust to high octane like mine does... most... don't.

    Looks like someone took my original sketch of the Khaos thingie and did a computerized drawing of it. Nice! ... Even my old picture of the KSTC taken with my old celfone cam still lives in the web.

    I might consider this an advertisement post since all I see is just this ONE single post by you. Its the same in some other car forums I have also visited.

    Anyway, as posted in the other forums, you might ask "your friend" to provide you with links to where PROOF of actual gains in HP, fuel mileage, etc. beyond just testimonials.

    Proof such as dyno tests records, emissions, etc.

    As posted in the Top Gear Philippines forum, there was a test done using a dyno where THREE fuel addtives were tested (against simply using regular petrol) and ALL fuel additives resulted in some degree in horsepower loss.

    Why not this person file a patent application first, before talking about it to public. You can either help this person or hire a patent attorney to help. If this invention is too good to be true, the heck w/ it, be a millionaire in a very short time!

    The only way to save gas is not to drive.

    Don't waste your sweat on this...

    Its the same person posting nearly the same way in multiple car forums, acting as if he was just an innocent driver trying out a friend's product. Once is believable but two or more of the same thing... well, you can see a pattern, he is trying to get the product's name out with minimum advertising expense.

Don't fall victim to Fuel saving scams
