As gas
prices continue to increase, consumers intensify their search
for improved fuel economy. While switching from an SUV to
a more economical sedan is a surefire way to get more MPG,
buying a new vehicle isn't that simple for everyone. Not only
that, but even 30 MPG is a little painful at $3 per gallon
at the pump. Many motorists make their way to the local parts
store to check out the various gas saving devices and additives,
but according to a recent story in the Detroit News,
not all gas-saving devices are what they claim to be.
The Federal
Trade Commission issued a consumer warning showing that most
of these devices rarely work. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) tested 93 items that claimed to save fuel and
found only 10 out of the 93 showed a small improvement in
fuel economy, and four of those increased emissions.
A more
realistic approach to gaining a few MPG includes performing
regular maintenance with a little help from AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants, filters and fuel additives. Properly inflated
tires, superior filtration and synthetic lubricants are simple
and effective ways motorists can ensure they are getting the
most from their vehicles.
Unlike
conventional oils, AMSOIL motor oils' uniform molecular structure
helps them flow more freely and reduce friction between metal
surfaces. They are designed to maximize energy efficiency
for improved fuel economy. anti-friction additives are included
to further improve energy efficiency.
AMSOIL
also offers Performance
Improver (PI), the most potent gasoline additive on the
market. AMSOIL
PI cleans fuel injectors and removes deposits to maintain
an even spray of gasoline into the chamber, improving fuel
economy. The article in the Detroit News quotes Bill
Ponkowski, a manager at Glendale Auto Supply, on how his shop
handles inquiries on improving fuel economy. Ponkowski recommends
fuel injector cleaners as a way to improve MPG, but warns
drivers to be cautious with other products.
"Don't
expect a miracle, but some additives can be very good at cleaning
a dirty fuel system out," said Ponkowski. "A lot
of people do ask how to get better gas mileage. First we ask
when they last had a tuneup, and then we'll look at fuel additives
to make sure they're getting the best mileage thay can."
For maximum
fuel economy improvement, use AMSOIL synthetic lubricants
in the drivetrain as well. AMSOIL provides synthetic
gear lubricants that feature an exclusive blend of high
viscosity, shear stable synthetic base oils and an extra treatment
of high-performance additives. Their superior synthetic formulation
ensures maximum friction reduction and fuel economy throughout
the drivetrain.

Premium AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oils offer the longest drain intervals
on the market, unsurpassed protection and performance that
effectively extends equipment life and improved fuel economy,
saving customers money at the pump and reducing the nation's
dependence on foreign oil.
"AMSOIL
INC. warrants that the use of its lubricants will not cause
mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when
AMSOIL INC. products are used in full compliance with the
company's recommendations and instructions."
AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are formulated to surpass engine test
specifications, offering protection far greater than competing
motor oils for extended drain intervals. Most synthetic oil
manufacturers make no claim to extended drain intervals, deferring
to the maintenance schedule provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
With its unparalleled oil and warranty program, AMSOIL offers
consumers unprecedented protection and economics.
Another
AMSOIL First
More than 20 years
ago, AMSOIL began using the NOACK volatility test as a comparison
tool and measurement of quality. Back then, nearly every oil
tested side-by-side with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils failed,
and those that passed barely squeaked by. Other oil companies
paid no attention to NOACK results until Ford Motor Company
made it a requirement for service fill oils, validating what
AMSOIL had said all along.
THE
NOACK Volatility Test
The NOACK
Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss
of lubricants in high temperature service. The more
motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become,
contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy
and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions. AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oil resists high temperature volatization
better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor
Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption
and emissions.
