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
. . . is a good estimate of the common passenger car and it's energy distribution. And the 3% engine friction they claim is right in line with 15% engine friction you claim if you change the reference unity.

Passenger cars do have greatly reduced friction drag in comparison to heavy duty diesel applications which must have a more robust design and much greater service life. And, you are correct in stating that heavy applications have much greater opportunities to reduce friction.

I am convinced enough of the validity of nano lubricant's effectiveness to try one of your samples or smaller applications (gun lubricant), but I do urge you to be more educated on your own product. It is a difficult sale when you are selling a technical product and you are unable to deliver technical answers.
