After seeing BioPerformance splattered all over the Internet, I
was interested in testing the fuel pill additive but was not ready to
get suckered into a product marketed by MLM (multi level
marketing). Fortunately there
were plenty of people trying to get me to try it and one even sent me a
few pills in a bottle. I have
always been willing to test other products in hopes of finding
something that I might want to add to the Hydrogen Boost system.
Before
testing the pills I did a baseline mileage test as follows: With the Hydrogen Boost system
completely shut off but with my tire pressure set at my normal
recommended tire pressure (50 psi), I did a 55 mph test on Interstate
87, with a couple check points along the way. I used the Scangauge set at trip MPG to calculate the
mileage. The following is the
data from the baseline test:
Check point Trip
mpg
Exit 16 51.2
Exit 8 50.9
Return 49.9
This was a total of 90 miles
round trip with average mileage 50.4 mpg.
Then the Bioperformance pill
was inserted into the tank and the tank was filled with fuel and I
swerved down the road to shake up the fuel and pill in the tank to
dissolve the pill. I drove
around the next couple days until it was time to repeat the trip, which
we normally do twice a week.
The following are the results of the mileage as indicated on the
Scangauge while driving at the same set speed as before:
Check point Trip mpg
Exit 16 49.9
Exit 8 47.6
Return* 43.7
* Night driving
with lights on. Because the
lights were on for the return trip the mileage was slightly less than
expected. But considering the
3.3 mpg drop in mileage on the first 45 miles of the trip I don’t
expect the return trip would have been any better than 46.5.
Since we can’t make any
conclusions based on the return trip, we can draw a valid conclusion on
the 45 mile first half of the test.
And that conclusion is that the Bioperformance pill caused a 3.3
mpg decrease in mileage, which is a 6.5% decrease in mileage. This is what I expect out of a MLM
marketed fuel additive. All
hype and no performance.
Saturday I repeated the post
test in the daylight to confirm our conclusions. The results were as
follows:
Check point Trip mpg
Exit 16 46.3
Exit 8 45.6
Return 47.2
This calculates to an average
mileage over the 90 mile trip to be 45.6+47.2/2=46.65 mpg. Comparing this to our daytime
baseline we had a 3.75 mpg or 7.4% decrease in mileage with the
BioPerformance pill. Even if we
compared this mileage with our night time baseline (below) we’d have a
1.7% decrease in mileage.
Monday evening I repeated the baseline
test which gave me a nighttime return trip to compare to last Mondays
post test. The new baseline
results were:
Check point Trip mpg
Exit 16 49.2
Exit 8 49.0
Return* 45.9
This calculates to an average
mileage over the 90 mile trip to be 49+45.9/2=47.45 mpg. This compares to our first post test
average of 45.5 mpg for a 1.95 mpg or 4.1% drop in mileage with the
BioPerformance pill.
Now having more baseline
mileage to match our post test conditions we have valid bases to
conclude that in all conditions the mileage with the BioPerformance
pill was always considerably less that the mileage with regular pump
gasoline, somewhere between 4.1% and 6.5%.
Disappointed,

On May 8, 2006 I ran across this link confirming my suspicions about
BioPerformance Pills: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:BioPerformance_and_Naphthalene
This
confirms our conclusions that Bioperformance pills are no good for mileage.

On May 18, 2006 I ran across the following articles
