OK its 12 noon as I begin to write this and I'm running a little behind schedule with the post because my daughter's French Toast breakfast waits for no one, you eat it hot or not at all.
OK I tried taking pictures of my trip, and was successful until the camera battery died. Then I switched to my blackberry cam and it also was dying. Still I managed by charging it so I could snap a couple pics on arrival at the gas station here at home.
The first 6 pics show my H3 parked in the lot across from my home away from home and the surrounding area including NYC skyline across the river. The lot is about 5 blocks from the firehouse I work at.
After that begins pics of my trip home on the turnpike and parkway south in the morning after work.
Final pics are me stopped for gas. And after I charged the camera battery for a half an hour I went out to my driveway and took pictures of the trip odometer, fill guage and the receipt.
I learned a couple of things along the way. First of all my total trip was 73.3 miles, not quite the 74 that I thought it was. My city driving was closer to 5 miles than 3 miles. And my highway miles were more like 68 miles than 71 miles, as I previously suggested.
The results were as follows:
73.3 total miles
This included a 5 block drive to work and a 5 block drive to my house after topping off.
The top off took a little more than 3 gallons. 3.30 gallons to be exact. Note that the pump clicked off a 2.88 gallons and the attendant squeezed it up to 3.30 gallons. See H, its a Jersey thing!
OK so here's the math:
73.3 miles divided by 3.3 gallons equals 22.21 mpg.
Not quite 25 mpg, but certainly still shows significant gains over what others are reporting. And more than the manufacturer is suggesting is even possible.
Bottom line I'm satisfied the product is working as promised and I'll continue to do the testing to ensure its as accurate as it can be without specialized equipment.
I go back to work on Tuesday so that'll be the next test. And by the by, the trip may yield slightly different mileage as some of the streets are One Way only traffic. But it shouldn't be far off.
In future posts I'll just put up the before and afters. Taking pics while driving aint as easy as it looks.
Edit:
I added 001.jpg late because I thought I already added it. Start with it and then go to 002 and then down from there. over all, the pics are boring shots of the road I travel. Of intrest; 005 is a shot from my window showing the World Trade Center site, 006 Empire State Building. 014-approaching the Parkway when camera beeped it was dying. 018-the money shot of the receipt.
One quart of CA40g is $32.50
One gallon of Ca40g is $110.00.
This is a fuel additive made by a company called CMH Industries. They originally forumlated it to work in tractors with diesels, but apparently they've found it works in any type of petroleum based fuel, and they are saying they guarantee an increase in fuel economy of 10%.

Re: Jersey's H3 and the Tale of 25MPG
Its only around $1.00 per 20 gal fillup...@$4.00 per gal thats $81 vs $80...
Has anyone else tried it yet ?

I would like to see longer distance test results. With short distances the calculations can be effected by changes in the ammount of gas used to refill and I am sure teh gas pumps and gas guages aren't 100% accurate.
Mayb use a GPS for distance measurement?
See the difference in just 0.3 gallons used... 73.3 miles divided by 3.3 gallons equals 22.21 mpg. or
73.3 miles divided by 3.0 gallons equals 24.43 mpg
Had a friend that loved marvel mystery oil. He used to blend that product. MMO looked like auto trans fluid into his gas at fill up. Claimed it lubed his cylinders and got him better mpg...
Never saw any real data on results...
This sounds interesting ca40g. I would be interested in long term study data.
If farmers use it thats usually a good testimony.
Farmers are always a tough sell.

I'm not sure I trust these short hop figures you are posting here brother.
What would be more meaningful in my opinion, are mpg averages per TANK.
At the moment, with an AirDoc CAI, PCM tune and running Swampers, I'm averaging 16 to 16.5 mpg per tank and I'm happy with that. However, if this product could add another 2 or 3 mpg and does not prove to be detrimental to the overall health and well being of my motor, I'd be very interested.
Sorry, just my skeptical nature coming out....
So...let's see some mpg per tank figures.....
