We just started using BioPerformance about a month ago. So far, the Tundra has gone 17mpg in town, to 18-21mpg in town. First trip on the highway, got 24mpg. The civic has seen minimal improvement, but it was already getting 35mpg. Will post more when verified longer.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('frankthetank', 'T')oday in the local paper they had an article about service stations here in WI being able to fill tires up with nitrogen. Now i'm just trying to figure where they get the nitrogen from...an me thinks it takes energy!
Why would you want to fill up your car tires with nitrogen?
I have nitrogen in the tires of my Cessna because of the bigger nitrogen molecules. I was told to do this by the maintenance guy, because air has a certain moisture content and it is generally very hard to remove this moisture. If air-plane tires are filled with air, at the flight altitude ice would form inside the tires. I don't think this would really matter at the altitude I usually fly ...
But in a car? What do they want to achieve? If you check you tire pressure every two weeks you should be on the save side ...
