Fuel Freedom International MPG CAPS DECREASED my fuel mileage by 5% Altamont Springs Florida

Ripoff Report where all of the quotes from the Harvard Business Professor appear, simply stay right here at Ripoffreport.com and type in- FUEL FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL, and go to the 8-21-2007 Ripoff Report, then to the 'Update' entitled- "Blame it on a Lawyer".

Actually the hard evidence is contrary to your claims [below].

There is abundant evidence that these caps will actually decrease your mpg, AND will most likely cause serious engine damage and/or emissions system damage. GUARANTEED.

You are suffering from the typical MLM hype, without the benefit of knowledge.

READ the EPA studies on this product and the dozens like it, as well as the State of FL investigation, etc. The FFI MPG CAPS simply DO NOT WORK! It is a scam. And, they WILL contaminate your catalyst in 2-3 years of use, and will actually increase emissions!

See my other rebuttals for the links and info.

Most people can see a dramatic increas in gas mileage by simply selecting the proper fuel! Many cars cannot completely burn any gas higher than 87 octane, so the rest goes unburned out the tailpipe!

Then proper tire inflation, use of cruise control, and selection of proper oil etc will give you another increase!

No magic pills required.

Get some REAL scientific education.

I have ASE cerifications and have built and raced cars. I know what works and what doesn't.

Try Using Regular Unleaded Gas With The MPG-CAPS
Hi there,

It is almost impossible the the MPG-CAPS would reduce your mileage by any percent. Try using regular unleaded, and make sure you have all the maintenance done on your vehicle. We use the MPG-MEGA-CAPS in our 18 wheeler trucks, and in addition, we use the MPG-CAPS in our cars. We have never seen a decrease, only an increase.

We have saved lots of money, and all of our vehicles are running much better, even the two trucks we have that have over 1 million miles are running like they are practically new....really.

My suggestion to you is to make sure nothing is wrong with your car, take it to the dealership or mechanic. You may also be doing more city driving than highway, therefore, you probably only received about 7%. Perhaps you miscalculated. Even my family had miscalculated in the past, until we showed them how to properly calculate the mileage. The products work, it has been scientifically proved.

Best wishes.

BBB Challenges EnergyCel Gas Saving Claims

Dallas, TX, September 28, 2006 - The price of gas may be a bit less than it was a few months ago, but drivers are still interested in ways to save gas. The Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission have been warning consumers and businesses to be wary of gas-saving claims for automotive devices or oil and gas additives.

Earlier this year, the BBB in Dallas advised that BioPerformance, Irving, TX, was claiming that its "gas pills" would save gas and provide lower emissions, but had failed to substantiate those claims. The Texas Attorney General's office has charged the company with misleading advertising, and the case is pending.

And last month, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced a $4.2 million settlement with the marketers of the FuelMax magnetic "fuel saver" device, later called the Fuel Saver Pro. According to the FTC, International Research and Development Corp., San Diego, CA, falsely claimed that when the device was installed on a fuel line, the magnets "supposedly fracture gasoline hydrocarbon chains through magnetic resonance," resulting in increased mileage and reduced emissions.

Now, the Better Business Bureau's Advertising Review department has challenged the product claims for the EnergyCel, described as "a non-invasive device installed around a vehicle's fuel line that uses magnetics and centrifugal force to treat the fuel composition."

The device is offered through a multi-level marketing program by EnergyCel Marketing Group, LP, 14673 Midway Rd., Ste. 105, Addison. On its Web site the company claims that the EnergyCel "increases engine efficiency" and "reduces emissions". A press release in June, 2006, claimed the EnergyCel "improves fuel economy 10-20% or more."

However, the EnergyCel Marketing Group has not provided substantiation for those claims to the BBB.

On August 9, 2006, the Advertising Review department of the BBB of Metropolitan Dallas, Inc., requested EnergyCel Marketing Group to substantiate the product claims.

According to the BBB Code of Advertising:

Claims as to energy savings, performance, safety, efficacy, results, etc., which will be obtained by or realized from a particular product or service should be based on recent and competent scientific, engineering, or other objective data.

On August 11, 2006, EnergyCel Marketing Group sent materials to the BBB, including news stories from several television stations. These news stories described individual results of using the EnergyCel product.

The BBB replied to the company, pointing out that the materials did not provide "recent and competent scientific, engineering or other objective data." The BBB noted that testimonials are subjective, not objective, and the product trials described in the TV news stories were limited, not scientific or objective data.

The BBB asked again for substantiation for EnergyCel's product claims. EnergyCel Marketing Group responded, stating " there is no more objective testing and reporting than the national news media." The company provided a copy of a 2002 newspaper column, which the company referred to as a "technical report", but did not provide substantiation.

The BBB has notified EnergyCel Marketing Group that the information provided does not substantiate the advertising claims. The company has an unsatisfactory record with the Better Business Bureau due to failure to substantiate or modify the advertising claims.

The BBB advises consumers and businesses that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated or tested more than 100 alleged gas-saving devices and has not found any product that significantly improves gas mileage. In fact, the EPA cautions, some "gas-saving" products may damage a car's engine or cause substantial increases in exhaust emissions.

I am the owner of a 2001 Toyota Tacoma with only 48,000 miles that quit running because of MPG-CAPS. In a three way phone conversation with a representative of FFi, Jerry Lang and myself on June 15, 2007, Jerry Lang stated that from the digital photos that were e-mailed to him and from our conversation that he recommended that FFi settle with me and move on.

To this day, FFi refuses to accept responsibilty for what MPG-CAPS did to my truck. MPG-CAPS claim to do 3 things; increase fuel mileage, reduce carbon deposits, and reduce emissions. Well that is exactly what happened to my truck. There was a sudden release of carbon in all combustion chambers all at once. The carbon deposits got trapped by the valves and could no longer seal, which cused the engine to lose compression, now it won't run. FFi the MLM marketing company of MPG-CAPS touts that 100% of claims against MPG-Caps have been denied. While that is true, it does not mean that they are not at fault. It just means they have no intention of standing behind their products. You are on your own if you use any FFi products and they cause a problem to your vehicle.

Hi there,

It is almost impossible the the MPG-CAPS would reduce your mileage by any percent. Try using regular unleaded, and make sure you have all the maintenance done on your vehicle. We use the MPG-MEGA-CAPS in our 18 wheeler trucks, and in addition, we use the MPG-CAPS in our cars. We have never seen a decrease, only an increase.

We have saved lots of money, and all of our vehicles are running much better, even the two trucks we have that have over 1 million miles are running like they are practically new....really.

My suggestion to you is to make sure nothing is wrong with your car, take it to the dealership or mechanic. You may also be doing more city driving than highway, therefore, you probably only received about 7%. Perhaps you miscalculated. Even my family had miscalculated in the past, until we showed them how to properly calculate the mileage. The products work, it has been scientifically proved.

Combustion Analysis By Jerry Lang Page 1 of 9 Jerry Lang - Rev 1.02.doc Jerry Lang Jerry Lang has more than 40 years of combustion experience and a strong background in refining processes. As the owner and operator of Jerry Lang Combustion Consulting, he is currently designing and overseeing combustion projects for four refineries, including efforts to lower emissions and improve efficiencies. Mr. Lang has served as a combustion consultant to virtually all of the major oil companies and 95% of the refineries, including ChevronTexaco, Chevron Phillips, ARCO, Shell, Kraft, Exxon, Mobil, and Dow Chemical. At Exxon, Mr. Lang developed ways to improve efficiency by retrofitting the tankers of the company. He also served as the combustion auditor to Chevron on their Richmond Nitrous Oxide (Nox) Reduction Project, worth in excess of $300 million. In addition, Mr. Lang has completed projects in Norway and is currently contributing to an ongoing project in Qatar. In 1967, Mr. Lang established his own business where he developed and patented several products related to combustion and incineration. He also served as Manager of Combustion Systems for Howe Baker Engineers where he helped develop ways to improve refining operations. Mr. Lang was also recruited by Dr. Edward Teller, the primary developer of the hydrogen bomb, for four years on an alternate fuels project doing combustion tests. Mr. Lang has extensive experience designing equipment utilized in reducing emissions from stationary sources such as refineries, power plants, and industrial operations. He also contributed to the development of the equipment used during the clean up of the Alaska oil spill. Over the years he has also done work on systems to improve mileage in automobiles, such as installing a vaporizer in the exhaust to vaporize the gasoline prior to intake and working on steam injection in automobiles. Mr. Lang holds 17 patents, including 13 combustion-related patents.

Three of his patented emission reduction processes have been sold all around the world. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Page 2 of 9 Jerry Lang FFI - Rev 1.02.doc Analysis I became interested in the MPG-CAPS being marketed through FFI because of my past 40 years experience in the combustion and refining industry. One of my employees brought the product to me, and I was immediately skeptical because of my past experience with products making similar claims. I have seen and tested numerous fuel additives that claim to clean engines, increase performance, and increase fuel mileage. Many claim to lower emissions in burners. I have been a developer of combustion products for years and have patented several burner and combustion related technologies. My technologies are used extensively in the petrochemical, industrial, and commercial markets worldwide. I have personally tested several ideas with the specific intent of increasing efficiency in gasoline and diesel engines. My initial intent was to disprove the MPG-CAPS claims. I have emission tests and other equipment in my facility. I was surprised when I first tested the vehicle of my employee who was using the MPG-CAPS and compared it to my identical vehicle without the MPG-CAPS. I found a surprising reduction of emissions on the vehicle using the MPG-CAPS. My employee wanted me to use the MPG-CAPS in my truck, but I decided to monitor my mileage and emissions to get a baseline first. After closely monitoring my mileage and emissions for about 1000 miles, I started using the MPG-CAPS as specified. At the conclusion of 1000 miles, my truck was getting 14% better mileage, and emissions were reduced by almost 75%. This result did get my attention, so I started an extensive research effort on the product. My conclusion based on my own testing, combusting experience, and research is that the product clearly does work and is scientifically and technically sound. The following is my explanation of the product from a combustion expert's viewpoint.

I did sign a nondisclosure agreement with the manufacturer and owner of the technology in order to get information for this paper and cannot disclose any trade secrets. I will attempt to describe the product and process in a way that will help to reduce confusion and answer critics. What is it? The basic technology involves organometalic chemistry. Organometalic discoveries date back to the 1800's when an ethylene complex of platinum was prepared, and metal carbonyl, tetracarbony nickel was synthesized; however, the structure of such complexes was difficult to deduce using chemical methods of that day. With the 1950's development of NMR and single crystal x-ray diffraction, methods were then available to solve the structures of these complexes. Page 3 of 9 Jerry Lang FFI - Rev 1.02.doc With the advent of computerization, a rapid growth in the study of organometallic compounds ensued.

By the 1970's, organometallic compounds were being used as burn rate accelerators for solid fuel rockets. The Nobel Prize 1974 was awarded to Earnst Fisher and Geoffrey Wilkinson for their contribution to the field. The development of these complexes for use in internal combustion engines has always been a scientific goal. As is found in any developing technology, you will find periods of success and times of less activity. The MPG-CAPS compound is the result of space-age continuation of a proven technology in its latest stage. How Does it Work? The MPG-CAPS compound uses the fuel (gas or diesel) as a carrier to deliver it into the engine combustion chamber where it actually does its work. The ingredients in the MPG-CAPS are used to treat the combustion chamber metal surfaces. A film is formed on all the surfaces. Technically, the film is thermally derived oxidation. The carboxylic metal creates an oxide residue on the hot surfaces at the time of combustion. A simple similar example of this is the scorching of a pan when cooking. We are all familiar with how a residue from cooking will form a layer on a pan if the food is overheated. In most cooking cases, the amount of material oxidized is of sufficient quantity to form a heavy film. However, if you scrub the pan many times, the film will get so thin that all you see is discoloration with a film so thin it appears to be part of the pan impregnating the pours of the metal.

The high temperature in the cylinder of an engine combined with the small amount of material that will oxidize or carbon out produces a very thin layer very rapidly. This film coats the walls of the cylinder, the piston face, and the fire deck. Once this film is deposited, it provides several benefits. First, it changes the surface heat absorption characteristics of metal. Note: The greatest loss in efficiency in an automobile engine is the loss of heat. Heat is energy released by the fuel, and air mixture as it burns producing a heat spike, which creates expansion used to drive the piston down. The cylinder walls and head are water cooled, and the piston is oil cooled. The film inhibits the transfer of radiant heat. This means higher combustion temperature, greater expansion, and more power. The second positive effect of the film is the provision of a surface to more evenly distribute the fuel. A polished surface tends to cause beading as a polished paint job. The micro film attracts the liquid fuel. More even fuel distribution better Page 4 of 9 Jerry Lang FFI - Rev 1.02.doc shapes the charge yielding more power. The third work of the film is being a catalyst precursor to react with the catalyst component in the MPG-CAPS. With the temperature in the cylinder and the presence of the catalyst, a catalytic reaction occurs to promote better disassociation of chemicals and better burn. The catalytic reaction is also exothermic and produces heat. The combination of all the above produces 30 to 40% more expansion in the cylinder with an equal amount of fuel. Changes in the automotive industry in the last 15 years have increased fuel efficiency. The EPA has mandated rules to lower emissions. Fuel manufacturers have removed lead and added oxygenates to fuel.

These changes have caused modern vehicles to build harmful deposits that tend to soak up the fuel and cause performance problems. The MPG-CAPS provide a micro-thin coating that inhibits build-up of harmful deposits. An added benefit of using the MPG-CAPS is lower emissions. The catalytic process found in catalytic converters on exhaust systems is started in the firing cylinder, which reduces the formation of nitrous oxides (NOx). The work required by the converter is reduced, and life of the converter is extended. The film produced on the cylinder walls is a continuous process and is polished by the rings on the piston becoming a more durable surface than the original metal. Less wear will occur, and extended engine life should be the result. In summary, I found many positive effects in using the MPG-CAPS. I found no negative effects. Since most automobile engines burn fuel at over 99% efficiency, it is impossible to improve the combustion alone. However, by using more heat of combustion, shaping the burn, and using the catalytic process to start the reaction and disassociation of chemicals usually driven by heat, a more efficient burn is produced. A burn is produced that will provide more expansion in the cylinder, therefore requiring less fuel. It is my opinion that the greatest positive effect is the fact that more heat produced by the combustion is being used.

The extra heat causes greater expansion of gases, increasing power, and overall efficiency of the engine. Most fuel is burned to use the heat. In an automobile, the heat is basically wasted. In my past experiments and testing, I have proven heat recovery to be the only practical way to improve gas mileage on a modern engine. The process produced by the MPG-CAPS does use more of the heat generated, and the catalytic process produces additional heat. The use of FFI MPG-CAPS is a practical way to improve mileage, increase power, and extend engine life. Page 5 of 9 Jerry Lang FFI - Rev 1.02.doc Jerry Lang Test Procedure In order to eliminate variables the following procedure was used. 1. I established a baseline miles per gallon number for highway driving. I drove the 1998 Mercedes on highway trips only for 1313 miles. 2. I established a baseline miles per gallon for city or short trip driving. I drove the 1998 Mercedes in city and short trips for 1051 miles. It was established that my baseline miles per gallon were 26.18 for highway and for city it was 18.72. 3. I conditioned the car for 1620 miles prior to testing. 4. I started my first test with a full tank of gas and drove 273 miles and recorded highway and city driving. (200 highway and 73 city). I added 10 gallons of gas at this point. I repeated this procedure three more times as shown in the chart. I then drove 261 miles as shown and filled the tank. My reason for following this procedure was to minimize the fill up errors. During this test I drove a total of 1420 miles and used a total of 54.32 gallons of gas. That is an average of 26.14 miles per gallon. In order to compare this to my baseline mileage I used the following procedure. 980 miles of the 1420 were highway so 980 divided by 26.18, which was my baseline mileage for the highway, equals 37.43 gallons of gas. 440 miles of the 1420 were city type so 440 divided by 18.72, which was my baseline city mileage, equals 23.50. The total baseline gallons would have been 60.94 without the MPG-CAPS. The average mileage without the MPG-CAPS would have been 23.30 miles per gallon. The number 2 test was conducted in the same manner. The average miles per gallon was 23.63 but after you do the calculations you still see around 12% savings in fuel or miles per gallon.

Did you ever hear of the term "snake oil" salesman? That's exactly what these "MPG CAPS" and the MLM program they are sold under represent. A total farce. I will explain how I know this below.

Obviously the guy with the 6 MPG increase [on a car that gets only 20MPG EPA] in a 2006 Volvo is a distributor for this snake oil. This simply does not happen. Either this claim is fabricated or the person does not know how to accurately figure gas mileage. This is more than a 25% increase!

Think about this. The major automakers are squeezed by the EPA for more efficient vehicles. They spend BILLIONS of dollars per year in research and development, testing, engineering, etc. Now, some yahoo comes out of the woods with a miracle pill to increase MPG. Believe me, if this was possible, the automakers, EPA, and treehuggers would have figured this out long ago.

And, to date, I have NOT been able to find any THIRD PARTY, SCIENTIFIC test data to support these claims.

I am a highly qualified mechanic with some engineering background, and have built and raced cars. I understand performance thoroughly.

Here are some FACTS.

1. Underinflated tires even 3psi low can dramatically cut MPG. MOST tires on the road are underinflated.

2. The difference between a 5w30 oil and a 10w30 oil can make a 5-10% difference in MPG. Your engine is designed to use a specified type of oil. Most people use the wrong oil in their cars based on my observations. They buy what is cheap, not what is right.

3. Using the cruise control on a long highway trip can increase your MPG 10% or more from what you get when you have your foot in it.

4. The wrong grade of gas for your specific car can affect your MPG dramatically. Did you know that on most newer cars with the exception of performance models there is NO benefit in using high octane/premium, and it's use can actually LOWER your MPG? Most newer cars require only 87 octane, and using anything else just goes out your tailpipe as the computer controls the burn.

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you all get the point here.

These yahoos making increased MPG claims are doing so blindly, and scientific conditions do not exist. Therefore, the claims are bogus.

So here is the best advice. keep your money in your pocket with these MPG CAPS.

Keep your oil changed with the designated viscosity and designation of oil, but upgrade to a premium 100% synthetic oil. Check your tire pressure weekly and keep the inflation to the max pressure as indicated on your sidewall, and be sure to do it when tires are cold. Keep your air filters changed at least 3 times per year. Use the gasoline grade specified in your owners manual.

Doing the few simple things above will increase your MPG far more than using any snake oil. This is based on scientific fact.

the milage decrease you are reporting is consistant with a milage decrease caused from switching from 100% gasoline to E15 which is 15 percent ethanol. If the area where you live has recently switched blends, this would explain it.

There is no federal policy about notifying customers of ethanol content - it's left up to the states to set notification policy.

E15 will cause up to a 20% reduction in milage - ethanol does not have the same level of energy per volume as gasoline.

Here in Buffalo, some gas pumps have a sticker on them proclaiming 10% ethanol and some do not - however, NY State requires all gasoline sold to be at least 10% ethanol.

After Katrina, NYS suspended the ethanol requirement (thanks to the FED ordering) to help lower the high cost of gasoline. However, late last year the ethanol content requirement was reinstated and, you guessed it, everyone has experienced a reduction if milage.

fill your tank with water, just add one of my special pills, you wont believe what happens. hey shill back your claims with cold hard facts

I have been using the MPG-CAPS regularly in my 2006 Volvo XC-90 and I am very satisfied with the results. On a road trip across country I averaged 6 miles per gallon over what the EPA states my car will get on the highway. Knowing that the EPA usually overstates the average mpg on a vehicle, 6 miles over the average is likely higher in reality. So 6 miles per gallon times a 20 gallon tank is 120 extra miles driven each tankfull. If the EPA states my car will average 21 mpg, then 120 extra miles divided by 21 = 5.7 gal that I didnt have to pay for. At $3.00 a gallon that is a $17.14 savings. Since MPG-CAPS also booste octane I dont have to use the manufacturers recommendation of using mid grade gasoline, which saves another $2.00 on each fill up, minus the $2.00 cost of the pill I still saved $17.00 on each tank of gas. I have also heard many testimonies similiar to mine.

My experience with the caps is that less is better, if the dose is too rich it can lower your average mpg. My recommendations is try cutting the dose down to 1/2 cap per 10 gallons. This is not the manufaturers recommended dose but has worked better for many consumers.

Hope this helps.
