In Reply to: First gas fill-up after installing Ecotek..... posted by Lordrandall on July 01, 2002 at 19:02:01:

First of all, my daily commute is 20 miles each way up and down some of the worst freeways in the US. Stop and go, the entire way most days. I NEVER cruise at 65 for a long enough time to get good MPG.

And you can't judge a tank of gas as to what your MPG is, because everyone fills up at a different time. If you guys want to compare your mileage to mine, note how much gas you put in at the next fill up, and use your trip odo. to note the miles. That's the ONLY way to get a good reading.

And my mileage really isn't that important, what is important is there was no noticealbe increase in the MPG. I could get 30 MPG, but if those Ecoteks didn't budge that up any, they are still a failure.

And I only run empty when I forget to fill up. :) Most times I fill up just under 1/4 of a tank. I hate getting stranded, and plus Costco Gas is right near my house. I got a nice surprise yesterday, the price was down $.09 to $1.61. :)

Anyway, I re-adjusted the Ecoteks this morning, and next week I will give you guys another update.
