    Ethos Gas reformulator?



    Anyone seen this? I was skeptical until I saw the new coverage and the Indy Sponsorship. Pretty interesting.

    Plus you get 100$ in free gas if you order it.

    Hm, sounds interesting. Not sure what to believe though. But 48 ounces for $80, and 1 ounce per 10 gallons of gas, means you're paying an extra 6 cents a gallon to potentially save 70 cents a gallon. Doesn't sound like too bad of a risk, unless there are hidden damaging side effects. Why is it that they recommend adding this to your oil as well?

      Yeah I've heard of this stuff. My mom is a distributor of it.

      The reason you add it to the oil too is because its basically an all around additive. Kinda like Lucas additives.

      Its good shit. My mom went from getting 390 on a full tank to getting 475. She gets over 100 miles on a quarter tank

      Try it.

            I am very skeptical of all "miracle" mileage do dads. Any fuel only has so much energy per given amount, and the internal combustion engine is only 30% efficiant on the best side of things. So I call shenanigans on this untill I see hard data from a trusted source.

                  You can get 32 ounces for $54, plus you get $100 back in gas. So basically, even if the stuff doesn't work, they are still paying you $46 (in gas) to try it.

                  Seems like a win-win to me.

                      Hmm, yah, that actually is quite tempting to try the basic kit. There's a slight catch with the four $25 gift cards though, but as long as you usually go to the same gas station all the time then it doesn't matter.
                      How Our Free Gas Program Works:

                      We have a special rewards program for our clients that generates a $25.00 gift card rebate for every $100 dollars of gas that you've bought at your favorite gas station. This program works with all major gas station brands.

                      You get four $25 redemption certificates with any Ethos purchase.

                      After your purchase, you get e-mailed simple step by step instructions, you get to choose the gas station you want the certificates for, for example: Mobil, Chevron, Shell. The certificates are then mailed to you.

                      When the certificates arrive in the mail, you can use each certificate to get a $25 gift card for every $100 you spend at that gas station. The gift card is as good as cash, and you can buy anything at the gas station with it, including gas.

                      That's how the program works, it's part of a loyalty rewards program Gas stations provide. You can do this once a month with each certificate, giving you a total of $100 in free gas!

                        If anyone does decide to try it, be prepared for a drop in mileage with the first two tanks. Not a horrible drop but it did drop. After those first two tanks every car is different but you will start to notice a good increase in mileage.

                        As stated above, in my mom's e46 323i. She gained about 85 miles extra per tank. I was so shocked and somewhat scepticle that I drove her car for a week, driving it like a normal person and even with my heavy foot I got 460 on the tank.

                        I don't know about getting any sort of deal but I will let you guys know if I can get a little cut.

                          i wish they posted the formula, its got to have some sort of alternative higher energy fuel in it thats making the gas last longer by adding a higher energy component

                            dont forget the Pulstar plugs.


                            I would be interested to try it for smog tests.

                              subscribed, I want to hear some testimony from those who try it. Can you buy it at auto parts stores?
