Do you guys think it actually works?

 

doubt it. Seen them come and go. If you drive the car like most older lexus drivers you can get pretty good MPG.

 

I am new to the Premium gas thing and with gas prices almost hitting 4 dollars my wallet is hurting. How do old lexus drivers drive?

 

i think it may just be in your head. next time you fill up figure out the difference between regular and premium. it should only be about 5 bucks or so.

 

Slow like a sunday driver!

 

Probably, I just read this on their site.

All premium fuel is simply gasoline with a higher burning rate and more oxygen. It burns more completely, keeps your engine cleaner and comes with a much steeper price tag!
You'll get the same effects and keep your engine just as healthy when you simply add Ethos to your car with regular gasoline.
I know this is hard to believe, so please don't believe me - read the testimonials on this page, and read about the double your money back guarantee below. Give it a test drive and measure you'll results.

 

yeah it also says this

At the current gas prices, the savings you get by using Ethos vary from 20¢ to 70¢ per Gallon. This adds up to hundreds, even thousands of dollars in savings per year for our clients .

Not worth it IMO. that is the price difference between 87 octane and 91.

 

Plus, they make you buy 2 bottles for $ 56! I didn't see that until I read another thread about the product.

Though, I wonder if it really does reduce emissions.

 

Buy a bottle and give it a try!

Report back and see if your mpg increases.

 

I might just try with the Camry and see if I can hit the 40 MPG limit. I just want to see if anyone else has tried this so I don't waste my time.

 

Most likely not going to do squat.

 

*this was from the carchat board, sorry i dont remeber who posted it*

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning or at night when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the
afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business , the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at
their pumps.

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be
transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof ' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the
atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains
more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain' at the pump.

5. Do not top off your gas tank, when the pump shuts off, do not keep trying to add more gas..................a friend who owns a gas station says that by doing th is, you are actually giving the next customer a $1.00 worth of gas. The gas you pump stays in the hose and never makes it to your tank...........good to know.

 

If you can afford to buy a lexus, why are u bothered about premium versus regular gasoline.

Priorities people, im more worried about when the stock market is picking back up

 

It is not a matter of affording the damn gasoline it is a matter of paying 4 dollars at the pump THANKS TO $%#@#$ OPEC.

I think the US should subsidize oil if it goes above 4 dollars. They do this in Pakistan and they use CNG as well. It comes out to something like 1.75 dollars per gallon...

Which brings me to the question if they make a IS350 in Diesel?

 

They do make a is220d see a review HERE
