Bogus Fuel Pill Schemes To Rip You Off!

Have you noticed ads for pills or powder or even liquids that you put into your gas tank and, magically, you will get up to 30% better gas mileage? Wow, that's more powerful magic than Harry Potter can produce! The number one selling fuel pill out there was a product made by Bioperformance. Their product was known as the gas pill or the fuel pill.

The State of Texas Attorney General filed a criminal charges against Bioperformance. The Attorney General stated "We will aggressively fight these con artists who cynically exploit the public's concerns about high gas prices to line their own pockets."

He referred to them con artists. That is exactly what they are. It seems, if you had put moth balls into your gas tank you would accomplish the same thing as the fuel pill. The fuel pill was found to be basically the chemical equivalent of mothballs.

Bioperformance was really only out to encourage the recruitment of more and more paying members into what seems to be pyramid scheme according to statements made by the attorney general.

As incredible as it may seem, there are still products out there that are making the same claims all over again. One is MPG-Cap. Enviro-Max another one. They promise the same thing as the older fuel pill made by Bioperformance. They claim you will get increases in gasoline economy simply by dropping their pills into your gas tank.

Most of their claims are based on testimonials from drivers. An average driver cannot scientifically make the comparisons they claim. To really do a believable test it needs to be done under controlled conditions with sophisticated and expensive equipment.

Normal driving conditions of weather, traffic volume, accidents and stop light patterns have a tremendous impact on any days fuel economy. There is no way the average driver can take those factors into consideration to be able to run a sound test.

Enviromax Plus claims that it makes the fuel in your engine burn more efficiently. The claim is Enviro-max will lower the unburned fuel in your engine from 15 percent down to 1 to 2 percent. Fortunately for you and unfortunately for Enviromax, todays engines actually burn gas with an efficiency of about 98 to 99 percent. That is without any help from any additive.

The bottom line, as is usually the case, if a claim seems to good to be true, it probably is! Don't believe the false claims of these modern day snake oil salesmen. Save your money!
