OK. I have a room at the Willow, but I will cancel that if it isn't needed. Niki will be coming with me, so it might be a good idea to keep it if there are more than 4 of use sharing the room.

Ethos Fuel Reformulator

At $24.95 for 16 oz. it is worth every penny for 8 10%'s (about 12 gallons at $3.00/ea.). I use it in my M/C too (0.5 oz per 5 gal. tank), and I've been told if you add 1 to 2 oz. to radiator coolant it adds life to the water pump and cools the engine some (I'll let you know when it gets hotter, as I already did this), Next, I may add it to the oil because it makes it flow better. It is a fuel/oil/coolant soluable ester-based add-in.

Here is the home page: http://www.ethosfr.com

Pricing is at http://www.ethosfr.com/OnlineStore.html
I found out today, the local distributor has a site this can be ordered from and in some cases can be hand-delivered rather than shipped.

It's at http://www.ethosaz.com

Once again, this stuff is utter b*llsh*t and snake oil.
It doesn't actually do anything.
Anyone that buys this stuff and believes they are seeing an improvement in performance of any kind is being duped.
Don't waste your money.

SO, how do you know this? My actual experience with it belies your comments. Have you personally tried this particular product? If so, how much did you use, and for how long. My experience is two bottles, and two and half months WITH RESULTS. I increased range from 225 to 230 to 235 to 240 and now at 248 week by week.

Nice, nice, nice, swtblnde - a little VROOM in the zoom-zoom-zoom dept.! Enjoy!

I stopped-in this week at a client that builds exhausts (none for the RX-8, yet), and they removed mine, hand-polished and cleaned it, and reinstalled it, all while we discussed some patent and trademark issues in their office. And they know Corky Bell (aka Corksport), too! Mine looks new again after a natty encounter with a plastic bag.

Enjoy yours, SWEET it is.

BTW, 09, they laughed at me when I told them about the "too loud" issue, until I explained the under - over 3750 RPM issue.
They then smirked with HUGE SMILES, and told me to stop driving at "those" speeds.

It's real difficult keeping it uner 3750!
It sounds so awesome! My children were skeptical when I told them I had ordered it, but when they heard it yesterday.............. Well, they knew that Mom knows best now! LOL LOL LOL

I've been driving around with the windows down in this heat!! And no stereo!

I am pleased.

NOT!!! Music to my ears.

In 1st to 4th, I usually go up to 7K or above with it. In 5th, 6K is usually enough. But in 6th, 3750 is about 73-74 mph. That's why it is not enough!

swblnde, I have two daughters 19 and 14; you?

Welcome to my world! Nothing more musical than the rotary screaming along with a nice, free exhaust.
