CAR

FUEL FREEDOM’s MPG-CAPS are a solid fuel treatment that go into the car’s gas tank and break down the fuel to its molecular level. The company says this creates a more efficient burn, which increases gas mileage, restores lost power, lowers smoke and pollution and enhances overall engine performance. The EPA testing facilities found a 10-14% increase in gas mileage with use of this product. One caplet treats 20 gallons and can be used in gasoline and diesel powered vehicles.
