Well that's the thing, I didn't use it as a power enhancer...i didn't use it as a fuel additive. I'm highly suspicious of snake oil too. I used it to fix a major idle problem. It became a stalling while driving problem. THe BG stuff helped stabilize the idle. All the science I needed.No disrespect to you guys intended but I often here rave reviews on products. I always wait to see scientific. Any of you run it with a scan gauge, or do some math, or put it on a meter to find out if you saw any improvement. Afterall my VX seems to have good days and bad days when it rubs better or worse. In addition you can run straight starter fluid and have a good burn but once you burn through it your back where you started so it may only be covering up the issue not solving it. I have never used it so I do not mean to disparage the product just want more detail.
In the case of the 44k, I wasn't looking for a fuel mileage increase or octane booster, or any other tall claim. I wasn't aiming for extra MPG, I was looking to fix a problem. The demonstrable effect was a fixed idle. Granted, I did not have a control in this experiment. And final results were with plenty of other variables (new spark plugs, cleaned out throttle body, idel control solenoid, FPR, MAF). But the variables were introduced individually. My end result was from ALL variables together. I'm just noting that the BG CF5 made the VX drivable from an undrivable condition. I still went on to change spark plugs,etc; the BG got me back on the road at the very least). THe entirity of my fuel system work resulted in the end result of a clean idle and 19.5 MPG with a lifted VX and heavier 32in tires. That's my demonstrable proof. Enough for this skeptic. I still don't feel anything I can buy that goes into the tank is worth the money. I've tried most of them. THe BG was the only thing that had any noticable effect for me. But I was in a very bad condition to begin with. And I will say that you probably need my situation to see such drastic results (go from bad stalling problems and introduce a lot of other variables on top of BG CF5). I couldn't tell you the effect of BG products as a "power enhancer." I get the feeling "power enhancer" as a term is intentionally vague. But I can tell you from first hand experience that it helped fix my issues.
