Saving Gas! What did you Do?

[THE-RV-MAN]

I replaced my spark plugs with E3's and wow what a difference. Even tho my Motorhome has only 53,000 on it. It runs so smooth now and I can see the change in gas mileage. What a difference. Spark plugs cost me around 6 or 7 bucks each but well worth it.

I live in NC but visit SC almost every week. Fuel in SC is around $.30--$.40 a gal cheaper there than here. Sat I put 52 gal in the DP at $.33 a gal less than here and saved $17.16. I also bought 25 gal of gas at $.30 a gal less than here and saved $7.50. So this week I saved $24.66. But when on the road other than Gas Buddy you just have to pay if you want to go. I never check fuel mileage--scared to!

In a test I read a few years ago these so called designer plugs do work (slightly more power) in testing when new. But after a thousand miles on a retest they did not show any improvement in power and or possible MPG improvement. They do some how wear enough that after a 1000 miles on the designer plug, they could not find a measurable difference between a 1000 miles on a regular new plug and these designer plugs.
In the test they tested several including spiltfire and and I think or pretty sure the E3 was there also.

The article did convince me and imply that it was a waste of money to pay more for the designer plugs for my vehicle usage. This article and testing was done buy Hot Rod or Car Craft magazine?

Glad to give you a chuckle, but I was serious!

Gas Buddy app is a plus. Other brand unique apps are more accurate/up to date. We also get 5% cash back on our PenFed CC.

I pull a toad. I get two vehicles from A to B by using roughly the same amount of fuel. Obviously this doubles my fuel mileage. Do the math.

14.2 mpg by my calculations. I'm thinking of pulling two toads so I should get about 21.3 mpg.

Can't get much better than that!!!

Don't worry about it, just go!!!

I have a vintage JC Whitney catalog from the 50's and if I could still get a lot of their products, I'm sure that I would actually be saving more gas then I am using. I'd probably have to drain the tank at the end of the day.

I have E3's in my motorcycles and they do start with a lot less effort. I have not put them in any 2 strokes yet but a couple of guys I know have put them in their chainsaws and commented that they start and run a lot better.

I remember similar claims about another spark plug called the split fire. This was several years ago. They are still sold, but I haven't heard many positive testimonials for quite some time. I understand that the Federal Trade Commission is also investigating them.
