http://www.scamdex.com/GasPills.htm

Do a search on 'gas pill' and you find a plethera of websites on the subject.
Mostly positive. As cyncial as I am on the subject, what do you think the number one hit should be when you google gas pill? I thought about intestinal gas. Nope. It's this gas pill. This just looks like a MLM scam to me.
After the 3 page of google hits I got bored.
Link after link was internet marketing nonsense.

The ingredients in the "Top Secret Gas Pill" break down the fuel at its molecular level so that it is presented to the combustion chamber in a much finer mist. This creates a more efficient burn, which increases power, increases MPG, saves money and nearly eliminates all harmful exhaust emissions. You read correctly. "Nearly eliminates all harmful exhaust emissions." Our product can reduce carbon monoxide alone by as much as 50%!
But Bill what I want to know is, and what I think is on the minds of all our viewers out there, does it cure cancer, too!? Oh I bet it does because it cures everything else!!

LoL! I bet it completes TPS reports if you leave them on the passenger seat while you drive. And it pays for your kids' college. And it'll do your laundry (leave clothes in trunk).

the only dumb question is the one not asked. If you'd come here trying to sell us the stuff and make $ on us, then we'd be mad. I like to be made aware of these things so when my gullable family finds out about them I'll already have the answers to prove them wrong. Remember those cell phone signal-boosting stickers? My grandfather is king of those.

I look at it two ways. it may do nothing.
It may ruin your injectors, foul your plugs.
I wouldn't take a risk.
You want good gas milage, by a hybrid or Honda.
You want to have fun driving, buy a BMW.

my wife got excited cause she drives a land rover and spends more time at the pump then i do...hehe but i guess i shouldn't laugh cause the money comes out of my pocket too.

i remember a few years ago some of my co-workers added something to their engines to give then better gas milage. i don't know what it was because i wasn't into cars back then. i want to say it had something to do with the fuel injection or carborator. honestly i don't recall. but they drove older ford broncos.

If you want a 'green' alternative to petrolium consider a LPG conversion.
http://www.lpg-vehicles.co.uk/

dunno if you have it in the US but most of the bigger petrol stations in the UK now have an LGP pump http://www.greenfuel.org.uk/

personally, I just wanna DASC

I checked into that here, the only station that is set up to sell it to cars is 25 miles out of my way, so it's not practical at all.

my "green" transport is 2 wheeled, drove it to work today and the weatherman was wrong, it got COLD overnight, so that sucks for me.

If it really worked then it would be all over the news and the inventor would get the nobel peace prize. This guy will only get a stay in prison for false advertising.
