Your testimonial doesn't do much for me. I hate to burst your bubble, but my mom has a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis LS that I often drive and get 24-26 mpg in combined city/rural road use. I'm the primary driver of this car since mom doesn't drive and dad passed away in June 2010. Actually the EPA rating of 18 MPG combined on the '00 Grand Marquis is 1 MPG lower combined than the 19 MPG combined on your '10 Crown Victoria.
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find....n=sbs&id=16003 http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find....n=sbs&id=29326 I drove the Grand Marquis on a 540.9 mile round trip on 17.181 gallons of gas last fall from Russellville, KY to Indianapolis, IN and back for my aunt's funeral. Driving with the c/c set at 55 mph I got 31.48 mpg with about 50% a/c usage. That included about 30 miles of city driving in Indianapolis and about 10 miles of funeral procession driving. I filled the tank when I left Russellville and refilled at the same station/pump when I returned. Both times the tank was filled to the cap, I drove the complete trip on less than a tank of gas. The low fuel light came on about 25 miles before I got back to the gas station where I refilled the tank. It doesn't have a Dyno Valve or any other modifications, 100% factory stock. The Grand Marquis is the same platform and drive train as the Ford Crown Victoria. It's also very strange that you were getting exactly 19 MPG the combined EPA rating in your Crown Victoria, not 18.7 or 19.6 etc., but exactly 19 MPG.

For your sake, I hope you don't have much invested in this company as the current stock price is $0.0069 cents per share according to their web site. Less than 7/10 of cent per share. Also noticed the price of the unit has gone to $499.
If you want to convince everyone the product works at saving gas, you, ownerop 2012, and treebark, get the company to install one on my '97 Escort wagon at their expense. It has 32K miles on it always serviced/maintaned properly and factory tune. I have installed a K&N air filter element. I'll test and provide feedback for the forum members. I'm also a member of at least 3 other gas savings forums and will also report to them. I'm planning approximately a 1000 mile round trip to Salisbury, NC at the beginning of next month for my niece's graduation. I have a fuel log on this site if you're interested in seeing the mileage it normally gets on highway trips. The highway mileage is down now to what it used to be, because I had to put a new set of tires on which increased rolling resistance, but have still got up to 42.98 MPG even with the new tires. I have the receipt where the tires were bought and we could use an average of all tanks since then for a baseline average and probably more than 90% of these tanks have been highway driving. See if the company is willing to put their product where their mouth is and allow an unbiased user give it a test to either prove it or disprove it.
