Default Got a bridge I wanna sell ya ....

You buy those items on TV sold by Ronco and Popeil, also (Ginsu knives, etc.)

Have heard of NO product that will increase mileage like you said. All articles I have read say the same thing.

Think - did your route change? Car loading? AC vs. no AC use? Big change in climate? Recent speeding ticket that has slowed you down since?

Default Hey Knuckle head

Futher more if it's on the Speed Channel,,
It has to be true!!!!!!!!

And you mention Climate change,,I don't know what planet you are on ,,,but in NA,,,,we are going from winter to summer,,,,so AC would be OFF,,,, and then switched to ON,,,
So that would yield lower gas mileage,,,Einstein

Default You need to chill out.

Perhaps Ray teased you a little, but he did try to offer reasons why your mileage might change besides the miracle product.

And climate is a good choice. I'm in VA and yesterday the temperature was in the 90's. Then a thunderstorm came through and today we are in the high 60's. I'd call that a recent climatic change.<p><b>Drew S.</b> <a href="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/" target="drewinva"><img src="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/images/98.5.jpg" border="0" align=center></a> <b>98.5 A4 2.8 qm</b>
