Will it float?

I am as concerned about my gas mileage as anyone. I try to do all the right things to my car to make it run as good as it can, but in the end, to quote our fearless leader, G.W. Bush... "It is what it is".

A friend of mine has had some involvement with with a product called Ethos. You can check out the product yourself by clicking on the Ethos link and read about it. It supposedly can increase your mileage and give your car increased performance, but is environmentally safe. The reports available on the site seem encouraging enough, so it's worth a few bucks to give it a spin and see if it's all that it's cracked up to be.

I bought a sample bottle to run a test of my own (there's nothing like a home test to filter out the truth in advertising). I haven't used any yet. I'm still figuring the mileage on our two vehicles, before using it in them.

I suppose it will be a few weeks before I have anything difinitive, but I'm anxious and hopeful that it will give me the same sort of increases is advertises. Stay tuned for further developments.

I've been using Ethos for about a year and a half now and I love the gas savings. My car is pretty old - 93 ford probe with 110k miles on it. My mileage increased from 214 to 340 after a tune-up and the best thing is: I can keep my baby from failing emissions test. The test results show zero CO. I love it.

The Ethos challenge web site offers a free tool to track your miles increase precisely. If you have an Iphone, you can track your miles right at the pump and get accurate data that you can share with us here.
