I'm using CA40G
My trip to work one way is 74 miles exact door to door.
In my minivans ('05 Nissan Quest, '03 Grand Caravan) I was getting 17mpg and 19mpg highway respectively when I heard about and decided to try the stuff. They both immediately improved to 27-29mpg highway. When my lease was up on the Quest and my two boys having grown up and gotten their own cars we really had no need for two minivans, so it was time for me to get a toy. Enter my H3. A used '06 H3. My first tank of gas without additive I watched disappear before my very eyes. Maybe 16mpg. I had no choice, the product needs to be mixed really well with gas in order to work properly and the dealership gave it to me with a full tank. So by the time I made it home from work I was at 1/4 of a tank. I had driven about 270 miles. This included the trip home from the dealer, 56mi., the roundtrip to and from work 148mi., to and from grocery store/mall/movie theatre/best buys/grandma's all told about 66mi., out of a 23 gallon gas tank thats a little more than 17 gallons of fuel netting me just under 16mpg. Then I added the stuff and filled my tank with regular gas at the Hess station. I left and went directly to work and came directly back the next morning to the same gas station to fill up again. With the gas station just 5 blocks from home i'm still calling the round trip 148 miles. My fill up was just 6 gallons. Therefore I used 3 each way. The highway entrance is exactly 2mi. from my home, the highway exit is 1mi. from my job, so 6 total miles were off the highway. You can do the math as to the exact figures but I'm saying thats nearly 25 mpg highway. In short, the stuff works.
EDIT:
And works great as long as we're talking highway miles. City mileage, stop and go kinda stuff, I can't say, because I haven't monitored it yet, and frankly don't plan to because I never go the same way twice during the summer at the Jersey Shore.

Re: Under bumper Hitch options
Your results seem unreal im sure you will get snapped on by someone
Keep us updated of your results and start a thread on it .
The camper new is around 17/18 grand
Its a 07 used last year twice and I got it for 11,000 from Indiana(Ive been out about 5 times this spring summer) shipping was about 1,000 total and tax/reg was about another 1,000
Funny thing... the insurance co didnt want to know what i paid or book value they wanted the new price that was 17,800 and they added 5,000 for personal stuff inside. all for$93.00 for 6 months.
I think Allstate gives full new replacment value for 3 years.(truck also
 )

Re: Under bumper Hitch options
