15% better fuel economy

[Matt400]

Seems like a hefty claim:

Casite's Lubri-Diesel Boosts Fuel Economy up to 15 Percent - autocarepro:...

" UP to 15%"

keep in mind that this claim means nothing.

they are not really promising anything.

perhaps it's based on the differance between wosrt and best cases.

 

[Rattler]

"UP TO" is the sales scam of the century. Most people do not understand that it means anything up to that point, with the high number being a best case thing. You can see this same lanquage in many commercials. Randy

I hate these claims unless I personally know someone I trust that says it is so. Every time I see those ad's I think of Doctor Feel Good Snake Oil right away.

 

[pullya]

You mean that Snake Oil ain't no good?????? Oh no--I've been use'n that stuff for years---

" UP to 15%"

WHICH includes anything above zero! Like 0. 01%

 

[HBarlow]

Claims like that fool a few. I'm pleased it's not working on my fellow TDR members.

If you could put hundreds of dimples on your truck like a golf ball you could gain 11%. Mythbuster tested and approved, lol.

 

[tolmsted]

Yea! And the latest scuttlebutt I've heard about mail in rebates will be issued in the form of store rebate cards for that store only. They don't want you taking the $$$$ savings to spend elsewhere. #@$%!

I got a $50 rebate from Verizon and they sent it to me on a Credit/Debit card. I immediately transferred the $50 from the card to my checking account. As soon as I know for sure the transfer is completed will chop up the card.



Won't be long and these rebates will only be able to be used for Verizon stuff. The handwriting is on the wall!!!

i wanted to see em try lotsa tits instead of the dimples and see if it had a similar effect, that would be easier to pull off then dimples

[DieselDoghouse]

YUP - those and the hundres of wind-reducing rusted-thru spots in the sheetmetal... :-laf:-laf

The thing that sticks in my mind is:



Do frictional losses in an engine account for 15% of fuel consumption total? In other words, if we used pure unobtainium dust in our oil and made a windage tray inspired by the lord himself and cut internal friction in the engine to 0 would we pick up 15% more fuel economy. And honestly I dont know. But I doubt it's hitting say 20%. I think internal engine and driveline friction accounts for 15% max. If it were otherwise we would all be running at 300 degrees coolant temps due to the energy being transfered into heat due to friction. So that must be one amazing lubricant.

 

[Rattler]

Maybe if we were all running that brand of oil that garuntees your engine "for up to 300,000 miles" we woudn't have any friction. Randy:-laf:-laf
