With a fleet of over 20 vehicles the fuel crunch has relay started to hurt, but now we have something that actually helps, as a private hire company we was asked to test a diesel additive which claims to guarantee to increase your fuel economy by 5%, as most you reading this I laughed a lot when he told me this but then after reading a few American reviews about this product especially http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/ ... p?t=129080 I thought to my self, what the hell I may as well waste a few pounds and put my mind at rest. The results were disturbing, on average I got 11% on motorway runs as most of you reading this I thought yeah it will be like that for the first few days but 3 weeks on and I am still getting an average of 9% to 11% depending on which vehicle and weather conditions and more importantly the driver lol, I am getting around 8% on local roads, yes these results are hard to believe, I kept thinking I must of calculated something wrong, some where till I done the test in my personal car ( e class Mercedes) where I compared a trip from Walsall to Coventry and back on 2 separate days same time middle of the night so I could minimise acceleration etc while on the motorway. The results I got from the Mercedes computer as well as what I calculated was 11%, fair enough I could of made a mistake which might put the % off by 2% but that’s still 9% fuel economy increase when I worked out how much the product had cost me and how much money I was saving, put it this way its going to pay for a new car. What I would suggest is go buy it as soon as you can either I want to be told i am not the only one out their getting results like this or I messed up on my fuel calculations. I think the hardest part is getting hold of this, the product I used was the Meaner Power Kleaner http://www.howeslube.com/products/index.php/category/10 but that’s the American web site the place I order from is http://www.howeslube.eu/Sales.htm I normally just email them and a sales representative comes around. |

I take it you are based in Walsall? As well as running a private hire taxi service do you also run Limousines and deal in executive Airport transfers? By the way I think you are extremely fortunate that your advertisement wasn't removed. Regards JD |

I don't recommend them as in I have anything to do with selling them. I continue to use them, although they're getting harder to get hold of as the manufacturer refuses to sell them direct, preferring people to take out franchises. Ironically, the harder they are to buy, the cheaper they become, the latest batch on Ebay costing only £10 a pack.

First of all I don’t get any commission on selling this, just lucky we got involved in their test market, and for the reference we are based in Walsall we don’t run limousines on the sole base of its to competitive in Walsall what we do thou is the executive travel as highlighted on our web site(not sure if I can link our own web site let me know). To be honest more than anything the reason I posted was I wanted to know who else in the taxi trade use’s this and what kind of results they are getting. I have gone over the figures many times I still think I am making mistakes but can not see any. |
