Once I wrote the Carburetor Enhancer Manual and started selling it, the people who 'self-installed' reported the same gains as I and my customers noticed. Again, all empirical evidence, not independent scientific validation.

George, this is America and I realize that we all have to make a buck - but your long posts always revert back to being one long, tedious sales pitch for your products.

I do have self-generated data, which is in storage 2500 miles away. I have very few independent scientific studies. For my customers I have a 60 day no questions asked moneyback satisfaction guarantee. I have less than a 2% return rate and most of those are from people who never tried the product/project. I may be fooling myself but I think that makes it pretty clear that people are getting what they think they'll get.

The sales pitch is the real message, and the real reason why you are here, isn't it, George?

Sorry, I KNOW you are looking for proof that qualifies with the standards of this website. I don't have it now. I WILL have it this spring, once I get the 84 Honda Civic back on the road. Not only will you have my fuel mileage records in the ecomodder garage, but anyone who wishes can visit and prove it for themselves. Again, this is where I ask for patience.

You haven't addressed any of my comments or questions in my previous post, so I will raise them again:

Quote:
Please have some patience on the 'real results'. First, I've given you all nothing but real results that I've achieved in the past. Second, I'm away from my home on an extended writing sabbatical. I'm quite happy to have anyone check out my project vehicles once I get home and they are on the road. This will happen during this summer.

Why did you decide to begin discussion of your products now in February, on this list? You claim to be away from home until next summer. Your being away from your cars provides an excuse that you think is acceptable for not providing any tangible proof of testing your claims.

The best I can do now is make my eBooks available for free and then help ecomodders duplicate what I've done, one step at a time; using their own skills and resources and at low cost (buying nothing from me).
I'll have no financial interest in their projects beyond trying to help them get the best mileage possible (without hurting their vehicle). Then the ecomodders who actually have equipment that can make proper scientific tests will be able to prove for themselves that the technology works or not.

Again, [broken record:] the burden of proof is upon YOU - not upon us to buy your stuff and prove or disprove your claims.

You admit you have no proof - yet you relentlessly implore us to believe in your theories and the products you are promoting.

As for which vehicles, pretty much everything but there's no way I can list them or prove who did what to what; except my own vehicles and that's where my 'stories' come in. I can tell you my 'stories' but that's not proof.

So we get to endure your relentless stories that are one big sales pitch from now until summer?

Remember the fable of the Emperor's New Clothes? You can spin your long-winded yarns and sales pitches as long as the moderators allow it, but in response we can point and laugh...
