Thats a lot of improvements from a pill. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Maybe some actual test have been done by someone here on the forum. I know this isnt what you were looking for but to me it does sound to good to be true.

My opinion is this: Vehicle manufacturers are required by law to meet corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) requirements. This means that all of their different models combined must achieve a certain average minimum fuel economy. This is law. If this Fitch device worked, why isn't it standard equipment on all vehicles. Surely the manufacturers could supply a similar product to get around the patent. If it worked, it would be on your vehicle from the assembly line.

^^^I agree whole heartedly. The only bad thing is that certain vehicles arent even checked for fuel economy to include the 6.0. When I said it was a pill it was just a figure of speech. Like when you see the doctor and they have the wonder drug that can fix all your ailments, same difference, there is no wonder cure!!! That I have ever seen anyway. Like it has been said so many times before the only cure to fuel millage is proper maintenance and taking the lead out of your foot, even though they are so much fun to drive with it in.

Not looking at this system for economy but rather the fuel conditioning part of system. They state you dont need additives with this system,raises cetane, keeps fuel fresh and considering where i get most of my fuel seems like a good investment if it works..
