[W126 Coupe] gas prices

[Mike Beyersdoerfer]

Bruce,

I don't blame anyone for being skeptical.  I was before I tested for  
myself and then became a distributor.
What is funny is the most skeptical guys in the beginning our now my  
best customers.

It will take 92 to 96-97 depending on the blend in your area.  This  
products performance has been proven on a dyno many times on many  
different engines.
One 6 oz bottle cost $10.95 treats 30 gals.

Speaking of Jeeps my wife's 2007 Jeep Commander Flex Fuel V8 gets 13.5  
MPG without 17-18 MPG with LHP.

They also have a diesel product that is even more amazing.  We have a  
Semi Truck fleet customer who picked up 300 miles per tank for  
$14.95.  He is not complaining.
