Improve Fuel Economy
|
Improved fuel economy is perhaps the most difficult of product claims to support. There are several test protocols that are considered standard for testing economy, but the reality is that no matter what a test shows or what we can document, the results for each driver will vary. |
Matt from Michigan: "This product improved the gas mileage of my '93 Blazer by 2 mpg. They are simple to use and even easier to store!" |
With the use of a
chemistry that improves combustion, as Dyno-tab® does, the result is
that the engines runs more efficiently. This results in more power,
performance, economy and reduced emissions. How this translates to the
individual driver depends on whether he or she drives more
aggressively in addition to the other factors, such as
driving conditions (weather and traffic), the condition of the vehicle,
the quality of fuel and whether or not the tires are properly inflated.
Chemplex has much anecdotal evidence for improved fuel economy from long-time users as well as specific test data that documents improvement.
DHL Fleet Test
In a 2006 fleet test of
23 DHL delivery vans in Corpus Christi,
Texas, the fleet-wide
average fuel economy improvement was 11.16%.
EPA Certified Lab Test
In 2006, Chemplex commissioned Automotive Testing and Development Services, an EPA certified laboratory, to conduct testing to evaluate the effect on fuel economy with the use of Dyno-tab® in gasoline engines.
All tests were conducted in strict accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 86 and/or California Title 13. Results were reviewed and approved by ATDS' in-house Quality Auditor. The test protocol included three vehicles with varied mileages and maintenance histories. The test protocol included a pre-test inspection and a baseline FTP-75 (city) and HFET (highway) fuel economy test sequence.
The results were positive. Every vehicle that was tested, after running through three tanks of fuel treated with Dyno-tab®, showed improved fuel economy over the baseline figures. The increases ranged from +9.08% in a normally fuel effiecient Toyota Corolla to +1.73% in a gas guzzeling, high mileage 1995 Buick Riviera. Average fuel economy improvement was +4.18%.
The vehicle that delivered the most improvement
was a late model (2005) Toyota
Corolla that achieved +9.08% city and +7.45% highway.
US Engineering Firm Fuel Economy Test shows 11.44% Improvement
Fleet Fuel Economy Test shows 10.8 % Improvement
A significant fleet test was run in the US with two universes of a utility fleet company. The first group had 300 vehicles (233 gasoline and 67 diesel). The second group had 350 vehicles (with a similar split between gasoline and diesel) and was used as the placebo group. An extensive 20-month baseline was developed for both groups prior to adding treatment. Group 1 recieved the CPX45400 formulation and Group 2 received a placebo product. As shown in the graph below, the increase in economy was quick and significant when treated with CPX45400, and began to drop off when the treatment was no longer added.
