^^^ Wow that's really good MPG. I can at most get to 400 miles on a full tank all highway.

The factory gas gauge is not linear in its display. Please do not use the gas gauge to evaluate mileage performance.

LOL I must be the biggest a hole driver ever... I have never gotten even close to 400 on a tank. Not even on road trips!!!! LOL

I need to put my foot an a diet.

I left from my destination with a full tank from the gas station and when i got home the fuel gauge just dropped to 1/2 tank as i was getting into the city. AND this was all highway driving cruising At 130KM/h(80mph) non stop. Skeptics can remain skeptics. I'm happy with the purchase. Thanks ISS!!

You drove an undisclosed distance and lost half a tank of gas. This is science at its best, do you work in the medical industry? LOL

I'm going to make parts for the ISF, too bad its not a larger group of people.

FYI 381 km was the exact km i travelled from point A to Point B. SO why dont u buy a pair of scoops and test them yourself instead of talkin all this smack.

im not a scientist or even a big car buff.. Im just stating what i see. like i said some people will be skeptical of this mod. I was one of them too. But for $200 i took a shot. I had really crappy gas mileage before and now i just see what i see in the gauge and the money left in my wallet, that's it... I apologize if i came off rude SEANGTS. ISS, I think deserve some credit for even trying to build mods for our cars...

I personally think they just look good and the fact of it maybe working to increase and improve gas mileage and possibly add some hp is just a plus for me. Going to be placing an order in next week

So keeping it scientific.

#1. How would you test the product?

#2 Why do you believe the product doesn't work even though you haven't tested it?

#3 How can you explain that this product works on other cars but won't work on the F?

#4 And if the product is proven to work, would you buy a set?

SeanGTS if you have ideas for products for the F please step to the plate and make it happen. There is a lack of parts for the car and it would be great to see other people contributing.

A more scientific test or at least one based on a greater pool of data would be for one of the individuals who has logged thier gas milage (hand caluculated) over the life of the ownership of thier F as a baseline. Then if they install the scoops and run the car for a month or more doing thier regular driving as before charting the MPG. Comparing the new numbers to the old would give a fairly decent review of any benifits from a MPG standpoint. As for a HP/TQ increase, I think that will be harder since the device is not easily dynoed and trap speed/ET is so variable based on weather, temp, elevation and driver consistancy.

this is me. I've recorded every fill and i take it to empty every time
same gas every time
Im very consistent
ill post results after I've gone through a few tanks

on a side note
I also noticed myself rolling 9.5L per 100 km highway without the scoops
since the scoops I've noticed me being able to get as low as 8.8 and a 9.0 easy
I dont recall being able to get that low before
