smoother: seat of the pants "feel" doesn't really mean anything.
more mileage: how long have you been using the said product? How many tankfuls?

How much is the product? Given it's one pill per tankful of gasoline, you're "extra fuel mileage savings should be MORE than the additional cost of the product.

MPG-CAP™ is not a fuel additive. It creates a micro-thin coating on the combustion chamber in your engine allowing your fuel to burn more efficiently.

This one already makes me doubtful of the product. If it does create a micro-thin coating, won't it build up over repeated use of the product and eventually do more harm than good to your engine, like fouled sparkplugs. Anyway, read to the next part...


Q. Can MPG-CAP™ cause any damage to my car's fuel system or catalytic converter?
A. MPG-CAP™ will not damage fuel systems or catalytic converters.

It will coat the engine cylinders but not the catalytic converter. ... yeah right.

A good comparison would be leaded gasoline. The lead content is needed by some engines to lubricate certain components like valve seats. But if you have a catalytic converter, the leaded gasoline will coat the catalytic elements, rendering it useless.


MPG-CAP™ increases the overall vehicle performance, including increase in fuel efficiency in miles per gallon, decrease in engine wear and tear, decrease in harmful emmisions, and a reduction in engine operating temperatures.

Kinda sounds like a magic bullet. Maybe they forgot it's also a cure for cancer and male baldness too?

We've talked about this before. According to laboratory testing, the MPG-Caps are nothing more than an expensive form of octane booster. And they cause rough running in some engines, to boot due to unwanted residue.

Try doing an A-B-A test... run one full tank with, one without, one with... and continue this for about three months. You'll notice that driving conditions have a bigger effect than the fuel caps.

Try Blaze instead of your regular gasoline. If you see similar results to what you get with the MPG-CAPs, that means that your regular gasoline is a bit too low octane for optimal performance. ;)
