Average 10-35% MPG gains, depending on the treatment level. When I treat a car, the engine, trans, power steering, water pump and A/C are treated. Major release of friction is from the trans, then engine and then the power steering, AC and water pump.

When an 18 wheeler is treated there are many more areas to remove friction from and gains are higher. When a garbage truck is treated, the hydraulics also release friction, further increasing efficiency.

But the Gov labs claiming only 3% friction on an engine is just not true, its more like 15% and we release on average 10% on engine only treatments. Dyno testing shows this

One-third of car fuel consumption is due to friction loss
