Default Ever heard of Motor Silk?

I've never heard of this, but saw a news article on it. Sounds too good to be true. Anyone ever try it?

"The $77.00 price is for a kit that includes MS/ATF/Gear/Gas Ad-----they were to correct this evening: twenty-five years with the military, no one seems to know."

If you could reduce friction by 80% it would cost a lot more than $77. I call BS.

How much MPG do you actually gain on a bottle of this. Supposedly it lasts up to 100,000 miles so it may be worth it if it works. Anyone wanna try it and report back

I have heard of it and really all it is a bit more powerful version of something I used in Mexico called Ceratec. I have used that twice. The things I remember were that the compression was better and didn't dissipate as when I was using the Restore oil additive. In addition, the motor was noticeably quieter and this was even before I switched over to Castrol 0W30. I don't know about the mpg being better off of this or not or because I was doing a lot of modifications around the same time, but certainly did feel a bit smoother after running the stuff...and can't keep in mind I wasn't running an air filter for the most part in Mexico because of the altitude.
