How
The Smog In California
Forced
Oil Companies To Do
Something They
Didn't Want To...
Most people don't know,
that in the 1980s, the
California government
actually forced oil
companies to develop
real, proven,
and laboratory
tested gas saving
methods, to cure the smog problem in
California.
Let
me tell you the story:
I'm not sure if you
ever had the chance
to visit California
in the mid 70s. It
was a
nightmare -
environmentally
speaking.
The
smog was
so thick you could
hardly see 15 miles
out.
There was so much
smog and pollution
in the air, that if
you were to stand on
your balcony facing
the mountains in
Southern California,
the only way you
would know that the
mountains were there
would be if you had
a map showing you
so.
Children in poorer
families in the
suburbs were getting
asthma and
lung problems
at record numbers,
the problem was
really getting out
of hand.
If someone didn't do
something about the
air, L.A was heading
to a future where
wearing gas masks
could be common.
Smog in
California(1980s
to 1998)
What Happened to
All That Smog?
Today, if you were to
visit California, and
look out over that same
balcony in L.A looking
at the same mountains,
you will probably notice
that you can
see them! The smog isn't
completely gone, it's
still a major problem,
however, it's been
drastically
and clearly reduced.
Where did that
smog go?
How The
Government MadeThe Gasoline More
Effective
In
the late 80s, the
California government
set a mandate
for an emissions
standard for gasoline
sold in California.
And gave oil companies a
maximum of 2 years to
comply and come up with
a solution.
It
was like saying: "if
you want to do business
in California and sell
your gasoline, you're
going to have to do
something to the gas to
make it burn more
effectively and cause
less pollution,
if you don't, we won't
let you do business in
California."
Oil and gasoline
companies, like Shell
and Chevron knew very
well that there was an
easy way to do this. The
down-side was... if they
made the gasoline burn
more effectively...
it would increase your
car's mileage.
That's good news for you
and I... since a higher
mileage means less money
spent on gas... Not so
good news for the oil
companies, they lose
money.
So they had to increase
the fuel efficiency
only enough
for it to meet the new
emissions standards in
California, and not
enough to lose them
money.
As
you can see from the
smog records on the
graph above - they were
successful. Not many
people know about this
'insider secret'
that's in most
gasoline today.
The good news is...
today, you can tap into
the same technology that
the oil companies used
in the 1980s to comply
with the new pollution
standards, safely use it
in your car to increase
your engine life -
and get an
increase in mileage of
19% or more -
which can save you
80¢ per gallon
or more with today's
prices.
Thousands of people in
America are doing it on
a daily basis, the
unfortunate fact is,
there are a lot of scams
out there, and a lot of
un-suspecting car owners
get taken for a ride
with dud products.
Let me show you how this
works:
How and Why Your
Engine Wastes 20% Of
Your Gas Out Your
Tail-Pipe
 Do
you own a car? Go in the
garage or drive-way
right now, and run your
finger around the inside
edge of the tail-pipe.
What you'll see now
is your finger
coated with a
dark black
smudge.
This stuff on your
finger is wasted un-burnt gas
by your engine, and
your wasted
money.
Most people don't
know that the
average car engine
is only 17%
to 23% efficient,
because of
energy conversion
inside the engine,and because 20% of
the gas you buy
usually goes right
out your tail-pipe
as carbon waste.
Just think of it this
way: If you spend $40 to
fill up your car,
$8 of that money goes
right out of your
tail-pipe.
Why does this
happen?
It's a little bit of
engine mechanics -
However, even if you
don't know anything
about engines, it's
pretty easy to picture:
Just like most living
things needs oxygen to
breathe, fire needs
oxygen to burn, and
gasoline needs oxygen to
explode powerfully
enough to move a car.
Your engine
doesn't
actually use gasoline.
It uses "gasoline vapor".
When you pour gasoline
into your gas tank, it
goes in there in liquid
form. Before you engine
can use the gasoline, it
has to turn it into
gas-vapor.
When the engine
vaporizes the gasoline,
it mixes
the gasoline with oxygen
to create a rich
powerful oxygen/gasoline
mixture.This is the job
of the fuel injection
system in your car, or
the carburetor (if you
drive an older car)
What engine experts and
oil companies have known
for years is that
only about
30-50% of the gas you
put in your car gets
properly vaporized
for ignition.
A big chunk 15-20% of
gasoline gets un-burnt
due to the size of the
gasoline molecules, this
comes out your engine as
smog and pollution.
Even more energy is
wasted because of the
wear-and tear in the
engine, engine energy
HEAT loss, and cooling
energy, which all adds
up to about 80%
in wasted energy.
Now if you're like me,
and I'm not very good at
math, that might sound
like swahili. What it
means in English is that
whenever you pump up
your gas, it's like
getting ripped off
twice... Once for gas
prices of over 3.00 per
gallon, and then again,
becuase not all that gas
is actually used
properly...
Think about it...
15% to 20% of
the gas you buy comes
out your tail-pipe as
waste... that's like
pouring one fifth of the
gas you buy all over the
ground when you pump up
your car. This is why we
have such large smog and
pollution problems
today, especially in
countries where leaded
fuel is still used.
How The Oil
Companies 'Solved' The
Problem
Have you ever tried to
get from point A to B
through a crowd FULL of
people shoulder to
shoulder?
It's the same with
gasoline. It
clumps together,
because it's a very
rich, and heavy
compound. It's like a
bunch of marbles stuck
together very tightly.
What the oil companies
did was find a way to
spread the gasoline
particles out, so they
have more space between
them, like pop-corn.This
lets air and oxygen
between them, and makes
them burn better.
When you drive up to a
gas station and see the
different grades of
gasoline... Basic,
Premium, Plus... etc...
These are just different
grades of molecule
spacing. They're
making the gas more
effective, and charging
you more money for it!
The more air gets to the
gasoline... The more
effective it is... the
further you drive on the
same tank of gas ...
the more
money you save!
It's also
much better for your
engine parts as the
gasoline burns more
evenly and creates less
wear-and-tear on the
motor.

Long story
short: Their
idea worked, this is
commonly used in
gasoline today, and why
the smog levels in
California have dropped
since the 1980s
dramatically... so how
does this help you save
on gas today?
Why Most Gas
Savers Are A Total Rip
Off
Imagine there was a
legal, perfectly
safe and natural
way you could use the
same technology the oil
companies use to make
premium fuel, and that
you could use it anytime
you like, to make the gas you buy for
your car super
effective.
It
would save 7% to
19% or more on gas
costs. Double
your engine life
and reduce your
pollution by a
land-slide.
It sounds too
good be true...
And unfortunately,
because of a few rotten
apples - it is a
total scam for
90% of people who try
such products.
They're called "fuel
additives." You might
have heard of someone
buying a bottle of some
weird concoction only to
waste their money
finding out it doesn't
work.
A
lot of companies tried
to break into the "gas
saving market" by
creating cheap
substitutes for real gas
saver formulas to feed
on naive consumers.
They're kind of like
cheap imitations of
coca-cola. Because to
make an actual gas
saver, ready for public
use, you need
E.P.A registration and
laboratory testing
results, to even put a
product like this on the
shelves.
(* E.P.A stands for
Environment Protection
Agency)
An average E.P.A test
phase takes 1
year or longer,
and will cost a company
close to
$1,000,000.00 dollars
for the laboratory time,
staff, equipment,
government testing,
patents, shipping
certification
Not to mention, you need
to seriously have the
real deal, a real
formula that works on
science not b.s, to pass
the testing phase,
here's why:
The Type Of
Testing That Was
Involved
It
is easy to get a product
on the shelves of retail
stores if you're selling
widgets or stuffed
animals. However, if
you're selling
consumable products that
go inside your car, it's
a much different story:
As
you can imagine, before
anything is done or
added to the gas in your
car - it would have to
be tested on numerous
vehicles under many
different conditions in
controlled laboratory
experiments.
#1. It has to be
environmentally safe
to not cause
more damage than it
produces benefits.
#2. It has to be tested
with all types of
engines to make sure its
safe and doesn't
damage engine components
in anyway.
#3. Such a product would
have to pass about 200
different tests, and if
it failed 1 of them,
there would be a panel
of inquires just for
that one problem until
it is solved. If
it didn't, the product
would NEVER hit
the shelves.
The 'Fake'
Alcohol Based Gas Saver
Additives In Retail
Stores Today
Obviously, few people
will invest this kind of
money to accomplish such
a thing, with no
guarantee of profit and
a highly skeptical
market-place.
So
what do they do? What
are these so called gas
saver liquid additives
in automotive retail
stores? The label claims
to "increase horsepower,
get higher mileage",
here's how they
work:
These products aren't
actually gas savers, but
"Super-charged
fuel in a small bottle."
Because they are
petroleum based, or
alcohol based.
Why do they sell it?
Because it's
cheap to make:
Since Petroleum(gasoline)
and Alcohol are already
approved substances by
the E.P.A, they don't
have to go through lab
testing to be put on the
market. So its
dirt cheap and
easy for someone to make
such a product, ship it
off in bulk to retail
stores, and hope make
some profit off curious
and un-suspecting car
owners.
Why are they
still on the shelves?
The idea behind these
additives is to excite
the gasoline molecules
and make them burn
really fast . As a
result, you might feel a
kick in the horse-power,
your emissions go down a
little. If someone is
naive enough, they keep
buying bottles of this
stuff.
Does this save
you any money in the
long term?...
No. Because you
have to use a whole
bottle of it, usually at
$20 per bottle, per each
tank. Hmm, buy $40 of
gas, or ($40 + $20) for
some toxic gas saver?
I'd rather take the gas
by itself.
A Natural,
Bio-Degradable
Way To Save 19% Or More
Off Your Gas Bill,
Double Your Engine Life,
and Cut Your Pollution
There's a lot of scams
out there. A lot of
people want to make a
quick buck. There's also
the few honest people in
the world with original
ideas that often get
lost in the sea of mis-information.
Since 1997 there's been
a little company in
California called "Ethos
Environmental, Inc." Ran
completely like a mom
and pop operation... the
owner sold a gas saver
he had personally
invented.
His idea was to use
'esters', which are tiny
particles inside the
formula to separate
gasoline molecules and
make the gas more
effective. He sold these
little bottles of
transparent liquid. His
claim was that it not
only worked, it was also
100% natural and
bio-degradable.
Meaning, it has no alcohol and no
petroleum in
it, so it was
environmentally safe.
You would add just an
ounce of this liquid to
your gas every time you
filled up with gas. And
the product claimed to
do three things:
1. Naturally
lubricate the inside of
your engine to increase
it's life and reduce
wear-and-tear.
2. Give you a
mileage increase of
7% to 19%*
by reformulating the
gasoline.
3.
Reduce the toxic
emissions from your
tail-pipe by 30% or more
Can you imagine that the
results you got with the
product were so solid
that their office
began to get
flooded with
testimonials and orders
for these little
bottles.
Soon they were selling
it to trucking and
shipping companies by
the gallons, and it
didn't stop there.
It
wasn't long until the
product was lab tested
and approved. As well as
being registered with
the E.P.A. A major sales
corporation (4E Corp)
took over and started
selling it directly to
consumers. It has grown
so fast over the past 2
years, it's now a
publicly traded company
with over 100,000
clients world wide.
