My test results after 3 tanks
Posted By admin On 27. October 2008 @ 10:34 am In Living | 1 Comment
I have just finished my 3rd tank full and I have modified my original results. I made this modification because I chose the wrong comparison. To be as accurate as possible and as fair as possible, I needed to consider 3 types of driving:
1. local driving
2. highway driving
3. a combination of the two
When I made my first test comparison I used local driving when I should have sued combined. So for my 1st tank I drove 386 miles on 13.92 gallons and got 27.72 mpg which was a 2.14% increase.
For my 2nd tank I drove 366 miles on 15.56 gallons and got 23.54 mpg which was an 8.04% decrease (I have no idea what happened there. My wife actually did the driving for most of the 3 tank fills so I don’t know how she drove, except it was mostly back and forth to work.)
For my 3rd tank I drove 433 miles on 16.54 gallons and got 26.18 mpg which was a 2.26% increase.
I have started a test using my 1983 Ford truck and am on the 1st tank.
I have purchased another company’s product and will begin testing it in the near future.
I will also let you know how my next couple of tank fills go. I am looking for a tester who does a lot of highway driving to see how those results pan out.
