Well, frankly, I’m a bit disappointed.  I have run through 4 more tanks of gas and the first of those four tanks showed an increase of 2.05 mpg, which was great.  However, the next three tanks were not very impressive.  The first showed a .67 mpg increase from the original.  The second had a decrease of 2.61 mpg and the most recent had a decrease of 2.17 mpg.

In all fairness to the company, there can be several reasons why this has happened.  My car has 98,000 plus miles and it may take a bit of work to get the insides cleaned out enough for the product to show good results.  There are several formulations of gasoline.  For example there is one formulation for summer and one for winter.  There may be oth4ers as well.  In winter gas economy tends to decrease.  Luckily, I have kept records of my gas mileage since I bought my car.

Well, overall, my gas mileage was better last winter.  So my last two thoughts are either there is a problem with my engine that will soon surface of the product just isn’t what they claim.  I will look for a couple of testers to see what results they get.

I do have a product from another company that I will be testing as soon as I get a tester for it.  I won’t have much to report for a month or so as it does take time unless the testers take a vacation or do a lot of traveling.

I was gong to cancel my membership to Mike Dillard’s monthly Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle.  I even put it on my Outlook calendar.  Then December 12^th came and went and I received another notice that my payment went through.

I was going to cancel because I was streamlining my expenses and I didn’t get any value from his November magazine. The December magazine arrived and this morning I finally took the time to read it.  And am I ever glad I didn’t cancel.

I was very impressed with his plans for 2009 (much more than just network and Internet marketing).  Russell Bronson’s section gave me great ideas.  I especially liked his “ascension business model” and could see many ways to apply that to help businesses that I work with to grow in this Recession. 

Although I am not at the point of hiring a virtual assistant, I could easily see how Justin Christianson’s helpful insights will greatly help me when I am ready to hire that special person.

Then came the icing on the cake, their recommended Resources section.  The company I am associated with is going heavily into social marketing, which many are saying is fast becoming the number one way to make use of the power of the Internet.  Let me know if you are interested in what they recommended and I will write up a summary and send it to you.
