Thumbs up Re: Is This Product A Con... Mpg Cap

Hi there,

from over here in England. I have been using the MPG-CAP in all my vehicles, petrol cars and diesel truck and my Mother's and Brother's car and a few friends are also using them. I became a distributor last summer and have proven to myself and others time and time again that they work. Believe me that I did a large amount of research before I got involved. To conduct your own - visit

www.mpgcaps.org.uk

Re: Is This Product A Con... Mpg Cap

Let me introduce myself i posted that question on the forum you replied to. I was curious before signing whether or not to go ahead with it all but i have. I am to a member to FFI, mine is octaneboosters.myffi.biz. Now i know you to are a member i was wondering if i could ask you for advice. I would like to know if you'd be willing to share your business methods. How did you sell your MPGCAPS, or how did you go about selling them. And how have you got to sign people up under the premium package. Hope to hear back from you. Please email me at [email protected]

yes they will, and this is a not-so-clever spam act trying to get us to fall for it as well.

The best part of the video was when the guys name came up, and they showed what was supposed to be a capsule shoot across the screen... in reality it was a Twinky

I have a couple questions to the 2 spammers who have done a "large amount of research". If this product reduces the heat that comes out to the exhaust, wouldn't this have negative effects, performance wise, for a turbocharged car? Even stranger, is that the video talks about reduction in heat expelling from the exhaust, however in "Dr." Lang's "in depth report" he states that this product creates more heat in the combustion chamber (pg 4). How does this product create more heat in the combustion chamber, yet reduce that heat that is expelled through the exhaust manifold? All of the heat isn't simply used up during the power stroke, so where does it go?

Yeah the MPG-CAP works :P, if you like detonation. All I see that little cap doing as a "catalyst" is causing detonation in your engine. If people were so concerned with the exhaust valve opening before the combustion was complete, they'd delay the timing.

Acetone is simply a cleaner. The worse your engine is, the more you may benefit.

Yes this is snakeoil.
