Yeah, the guy that wrote the book I am using installed the system on a 99 toyota corolla (I think) and with 1 bottle was getting 50ish mpg and he went to a 6 pack of bottles and got up over 60mpg. The bigger benefit to the larger number of bottles though is the maintenance. Instead of having to clean/change the water every month it went to every 4-5 months. After I run this 1 for a couple weeks and see consistant results I'll be adding a second one. With two I would expect to see ~50mpg as well. The great thing, is that I can see that kind of mpg and not have to drive like a conservative little old man. Without any assistance my car was getting 32-35...and I wont like, I cant keep my foot out of the gas most of the time.

But I'll update as i find things...for those who are interested. I too will be offering to build/install these after I have seen the results myself.

It is turbo friendly. It's going on my dads full size chevy with a duramax turbo diesel this weekend. I realize that might be a little different than a turbo civic, but not really. Either way I'll have a couple different results to compare.

If it works really well on your car I'll definately have to look into doing this to mine. I'm getting so sick and tired of paying $30 a week/week and a half to put gas in my car and my moms car.
