Default Gas Saving Pill ! WTF?

Gas Saving Pill ! WTF! LMAO!
So one of my relatives approaches me with this product and tries to recruit me to join them.

You can probably guess my answer, HELL NO!

ANALYZE THE HELL OUT OF IT!

Yah it sounds to me like a product out there that probably won't do any good, but not a bad marketing idea counting that gas prices are high, so I'm guessing people are buying them.

It's says you can try a free sample but there is nowhere to get them off the website, do you call the company or wht? I wouldn't do it because it cost $75.00 a bottle and who knows if it will do damage to your fuel system

I hate to admit it but I've tried it and it actually works I got approx. 70-75 more miles in a tank. My dad has info on how to get the gas pills.

when a place tells you OVER AND OVER that you need to consistently use their product every time you fill up or you wont see any results, it typically means theyre blowing wind up your a$$. they just want you to keep buying the product. and at 75 bucks a bottle, youd be making them lots of mula. especially considering how many pills youd need to use in order to receive "savings"

i call bs unless i see real results. but i wont be the guinea pig for this one.

When my dad got suckered into buying this stuff i was skeptical about it working at all but after going on a short trip about 200 miles and back with his truck, which usually consumes a a litte more than a full tank, he said he didnt go to the gas station at all. I was quite suprised to hear this but i still think it may have negative affects on the motor in the long run.

well I'm skeptical as hell just like the rest of you, but in their statement... If the pills causes any damages at all to the engine or it's components, then they will replace it free of charge.. So i guess imma just smash the **** out of my motor until it's breaking point drop in the pill and blow up my damn motor and hope they can replace it for a new one... LOLz.. but yeah... go to their website it actually says they will replace any damage engine components that the pills causes.. So I guess they ain't playing.... http://mybpbiz.com/index.asp?pgid=3

So what they say they'll replace the parts, they are probably a fly by night company so how do you know they will really help if something happens to your motor. Plus a company really confident in their product should not have to advertise replacement of broken parts because the product should have no effect. No thanks I am not gonna be their guinea pig

Oh legal wo's. Yeah, the problem is that you'll have to prove that their product caused the damage.

Unless you live in a big city with a subway and decent bus system, there's not much else for the rest of us. Unless you going from major city to major city, our train system is pathetic. And even our local public bus system is half-assed. I lived in Denmark for about 6 months, and you could set your watch by the buses. Here, you got a + or - 20 minute delta and a bus that smells like ****.
And we won't get into our taxi service.
