Complaint Review: Fuel Freedom International - Altamonte Springs Florida

If you don't want to do the business side of this program then don't do it. But if you love the MPG-Caps sign up anyway, and get the product at wholesale price. Saves you more money and time. Thank you, Jonard

My husband has been an auto mechanic for 26 years. We became FFI distributors in August, 2007. We have been using the MPG caps in the following vehicles: Ford 2002 Tarus, GM Jeep Grand Cheerokee 1996, Acura Legend 1992, and Kia Sorrenta 2006. With all our vehicles our gas mileage increased about 6 miles per gallon. We have better performance - better pick-up (acceleration), and 3 of these vehicles have over 100,000 miles on them. When my husband changed the spark plugs in the Ford Tarus there was no black carbon build-up only the red coating as stated by the creator of the product in his test results. The thing I like best about this product is that it makes your car engine last longer and really cuts down on emissions. We live in a large metropolitan area and we don't need any more smog. Also it is not in our family budget to be buying new cars every few years and wasting all that money on a new automobile. I have better things to do with my money. Our personal experiences verify that this product works. However, we have found it hard to sell these gas pills, because of the bio scam from last year. No one wants to chance using these pills. All I can say is "stupid Americans!" Wake up and realize that the oil companies don't want us saving money at the gas pump. Thank you.

I used the product in my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. 2 pills first tank and 2 pills in the 2nd tank. Then one pill after, it ran great and the mileage went up. Then I notice after the 7th tank the car started to run rough. I talked to a friend (lets kept his name privet) that knows allot about the MPG-CAP, he told me to run the car with supreme gas for two tanks without the product. This will clean everything out of the engine, and then just use 1/2 of the pill. So I did, and now I get better gas mileage then before, and the car is running like it should. After talking to my friend, he told me that cars with small engines like 4 and 6 cyl that are high compression more like performance cars should use a of the pill. In his studies he has found that in overdosing with cars that have O2 Sensor will cause the car not to run right.

Corning is the Company that invented the catalytic converter. More precisely, 3 men working at Corning invented the ceramic substrate that the catalytic converter is made from. Corning still holds the patent on the substrate. Walker is just like any other exhaust company. They buy the Corning substrates, and install them in different shells. There are dozens of different companies producing the end products, just as there were 30 years ago. Chrysler made their own. Ford made their own. GM made their own. Every manufacturer made their own, as they still do. Let's move on to another. It's called "Catalyst Poisoning". This occurs when something coats the substrate in the converter, and prevents the catalyst from performing it's job. Lead does it. Sulfur does it. So do Zinc, and Silicone. If your Magic Pill is coating the cumbustion chamber with your compound, why do you believe it's not coating the substrate in the converter? Are we to believe the coating process ends as soon as the exhaust gases leave the exhaust valve? Sure. It either coats everything, or nothing. My money is on NOTHING. Keep hawking your Magic Pills. I'll be sure to watch out for the TSB that recommends using your product, the Tornado, The Super-Turbo 3000, Gas Magnet, and all the other crap that gullible people buy. Anyone still believe in the 200 mpg carburetor?

I am an independant distributor for FFI, as well as 2 of my brothers and my father, all of whom live in different areas. As the title of this rebuttal suggests, my father is a retired executive of Walker Mfg., having started on the ground floor and advancing to Senior Vice President of Operations through the engineering department. Walker Mfg. is widely known as a leader in the automotive exhaust industry and the company that introduced the catalytic converter to the marketplace. It is his integral involvement in the development of this device, now required by almost every country in the free world in an effort to reduce exhaust emissions, that makes him uniquely qualified to endorse the FFI products, and the sole reason I am a distributor. I believe in this product and the positive effects it could have on our environment, and thusly have dedicated my resources(time and money) to the widespread distribution of the product and it's benefits, rather than the selling of more distributorships. In any worthwhile endeavor there will always be naysayers, those that are afraid of change, that would rather hold others back, because if it turns out they missed the boat they won't be left standing on the shore alone while those of us willing to take a leap of faith sail on to a brighter, healthier, more prosperous future. To those people, I say open your mind and broaden your horizons, where would we be if the technological pioneers before us had such little foresight, or our own countries founders for that matter? To the rest of you willing to find out for yourselves more about the benefits of the MPG-CAPS and Fuel Freedom International congratulations on being an independant thinker! You can go to (((ROR REDACTED EMAIL FOR SECURITY PURPOSES))) and find out all about our company, the independant studies that have been conducted, products and their benefits, and how to acquire them. If you have any questions you can direct them to me from that website as well. God Bless and Good Luck - Scott Sundial Enterprises sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!

The automakers spend billions each year trying to get their products more efficient than the year before. If any of this crap worked, the automakers would simply use them. So far, there is not a single automobile, truck, motorcycle, scooter, airplane, boat, etc manufacturer that does. I assume it's because they KNOW the stuff doesn't work. This "pill" is as useful as the "Tornado" that you stuck in the air cleaner to create more swirl in the cumbustion chamber. Great idea, except the intake valve is closed for 90% of the time the engine is running. Also, the throttle plate(s) is closed likewise, or just barely open. The newfound turbulence hits a wall and stops swirling. The company that sold those things still hawks them. The "gas magnet" was another winner. Whitney sells that thing still. On the lubricant side, they have all those commercials of an engine with no oil running for hours. Sure. Try it on your BMW. Show the results of that test. There is no "pill" that is going to increase your fuel mileage. You got an increase by doing ONE thing. You switched the octane rating you used from 91, to 87. By getting better economy, it shows you actually needed to be running 87 octane all along. The 91 octane gas was still burning as it left the cylinder. The 87 octane gas burned completely, allowing your engine to function at it's optimum efficiency. Your "pill" could have been a golf ball. It would have made as much difference. At least with the golf ball, you could always have the clunking sound in the tank to remind you of the time you thought you could outsmart the thousands of engineers who design the vehicles we drive. As for the Hybrid cars...I notice the car makers can't give them away. Why? Because people found out it will cost more than $7000 to replace the batteries every 5 years. They have the performance of a Big Wheel, and cost more than their "pure fuel" counterparts. I notice Honda gave up on them altogether. That ugly Insight is a fading memory. I especially like the Hybrid SUV's that get a whole 1-2 mpg increase over their pure fuel versions. That's great. I'll run out and buy two or three. You keep on believing this magic pill does anything. I'd love to see what it's doing to your catalytic converters. If it's coating the cumbustion chamber(I crack a smile just thinking about that), it must be doing some coating to the "cats" too. The typical OBD2 converter swap runs $250-$500. For some BMW and Mercedes', you can triple or quadruple that amount. Now, THAT's some kind of magic pill.

Steve, It ocst $8000 to $10,000 to by a hyrgrid version of a vechicle. Almost all of the owners will never realize the cost savings and recoup the extra cost fro the life of owing the car. Can we say that they are ripping us off? With you way of thinking, the world has invented everything that we need a long time ago since all big companies should have invented them already. This is just a general statement and may not be applicable to gas companies. Are you aware that new blends or mix of gas are being investigated by various universities and research centers around the world? If what you said is true, why should the world still looking for a better gas formular? Just let the automakers do the job. Can you put yourself back to the days of Edison and Newton. I can bet that you will be putting down these great scientists who have challenge the science frontier and made the world it is today. Not every important invention are done by large corporations. Do you also believe that the government has the best interest in us and has done everything possible for us? I do not. It is even bigger than the auto and gas companies. But many things are still not perfect and still needs improvement. Have a good day.

Ken, There is not one of these so called gas savings devices on the market that actually works. These products have been extensively tested by third party firms and always have the same results, and some even cause the vehicle to perform worse! Do you really think that some fly by night outfit is going to design something that the engineer who works for the automaker is not going to design first? Be realistic. The automakers are squeezed so tight by the EPA to meet standards, it is in the best interest of the automaker to get every bit of gas mileage they can in a new design. I have stacks of studies on these gadgets. they are all a joke. Your MLM scheme is nothing but a pyramid, as all the income comes from recruiting distributors, not selling RETAIL product to the end user. That is why this type of business is illegal in the U.S. and gets shut down every time. You cannot possibly get scientific results from one vehicle with one driver. Your dreaming.

Hello, I will give this same rebuttal for both of these riff-off report on file for FFI. I can understand the frustration of not getting the products faster due to an unexpected 400% growth curve phenomonen and acceptance of this product by 93 countries worldwide. Let's face it, networking marketing and mlm are getting very popular and many corporate 500 companies also realize the effectiveness of mlm and have choosen to adopt this into their business model. Mlm are there to help millions of people to generate extra to full time income. However, it has gotten a bad name due to many unethical companies. We have to be careful in selecting the right company and product. It is supposed to have a money back gurantee and so I do not under why you were not given the refund unless there are something else there that I do not know. I am a chenist and engineer manager in the Chip business for over 25 years in the Silicon Valley. Therefore by education and training, I was skiptical about FFI and its MPG-CAPs from the start; especially there are several other companies with similar claims. However, there are too many testimonials from friends that made me looked into their technology closer and I found out that the FFI product did have a different approach and validate their claims. It is not a fuel additive or fuel conditioner. The MPG-CAPs benefits the engine in two ways: 1. It helps to clean up the carbon deposit within the combustion chamber and then gradually deposit a thin (nano thickness) catalytic coating on the combustion chamber wall. This coating is pinkish in color and will help in a more complete, instantaneous and cleaner burnt of the gasoline hydrycarbon chain molecule. FFI realized their delivery problem and had taken steps to purchased, installed and debugged a machine in CA. It is now up running, producing about 450,000 caplets or pills an hour or millions of pill a day. This machine will help to reduce product delivery time and keep the worldwide distributors happy. As far a testimonials are concern, there are just too many to tell and you can get many of them on the website: mmfoundation.myffi.biz. Here are some that are closer to me. 1. I have a 2001 BMW M3 with 333 horsepower and this is a highly tuned and technically superior machine with one coil to each cylinder, etc. I did a control test to check out the claim of using lower octane or regular fuel. I set up the control runs by driving from S. San Franicsco to Cupertino which is about 35 miles - set cruise control at 70, full tank of 91 octane Arco gas ( (recommended by BMW), pick the second fastest lane and at close to midnight. I drove to and back a total of 4 trips and with the very accurate onboard computer, it registered from 27.0-27.3 miles per gallon on the freeway and total on the freeway. Then I added 2 MPG-CAPs to the tank before fillup. I finished this first tank. On the second tank with MPG-CAPs, I filled up with 87 instaed of 91 octane Arco gas. I did the same runs again. Wow, the mileage for these four runs came out exactly the same, 27.0-27.3 mpg., and this was after using one tank of gas with MPG-CAPs. On my second tank with the caps, with the same test runs, I am gaining about 2-3 extra miles per gallon. I was told that for some cars, you can see the difference within the first tank and for some may take 3-6 tanks. I have heard many other friends with good results on mileage. But this one on passing smog check is the most compelling. A friend, who has a 20 year old MBZ classic could not pass smog check. He went to three MB dealers and they all told him to rebuild the engine and since S.F. is expensive, he drove the car to Las Vegas to see if it would be cheaper. Well, I think it still would cost him $5000. Then he heard about FFI from his wife, Dr. Bill finally broke down and tried the CAPs. After 3 tanks with the CAPs and for a cost of about 10 dollars, his beloved car passed smog!! Get what, his mechanics all signed up. This is not the only one. I have heard 3 others and including my son's 1990 Jeep Cherokee. FFI's claim on pollution or exhaust reduction is real. If everyone's car can have a reduction in green house gases, it would make the world a much better place to live for us and for our children. Forget saving money on gas, or making money from this wonderful product. Right now there are people spending $8000 more to get a hybrid car that they will never get their money back. It is the way - the good way to live. I got to go and will update this later. Yes, if you also put a little effort into the business, you will not only help the environment, but you will have extra income and save money on gas. Hey, you may be able to help many others who needs this product and the financial reward that comes with it. If I were you, may I suggest that you come back and join FFI again. By the way, I am do FFI not for personal gain but for funding of charity and disabled organizations. I have seen and spent more time in reviewing this opportunity.

I am an Independent FFi Distributor, and have been since April, 2006. I have used MPG-CAPS as directed in my 2002 Malibu LS and achieved an average 10-12% increase in fuel efficiency in city driving and a 20% increase on the highway. I can also attest that my vehicle runs better, thanks to the immediate increase in octane. I have maintained accurate and extensive logs for my Malibu since acquiring it new in the Fall of 2002, and would be happy to document fuel savings for anyone willing to pay the small cost of reproducing my vehicle logs.
