Nope, never heard of them. Might be as they claim, but then again? I'll stick with RP.

This is not a oil replacement......a one time per 100,000 mile additive
Supposedly NASA developed it for the military which has been using it in all engines and trans for years and the US Govt owns the patent...........all according to the TV News story

Perhaps just another Turbonator

Over the years there have been several miracle lube products derived from NASA etc.Over the long haul none have proven to be a significant help,some actually caused problems.I have Mobile 1 in the motor,Royal Purple in the trans an diff. Everything performs well(cured a balky trans for me).Runs good and gets great mileage.Keep your tires inflated filters and fluids changed and for vets there is no neet for the expense of the wizz bang products!! My 2 cents!

Every time the cost of fuel goes up the scammers come out with their bottles of snake oil. The only guarantee on the product is that it will lighten your wallet.
News agencies are in the business of selling advertising air time. Sensational articles-like a gas saving elixir- add more viewers which equals higher profits on sales.
Don't believe everything you hear on the news, it’s mostly entertainment.

While your likely right.......how many of us believe that Trechron will fix bad fuel senders and Seafoam improves our combustion ?

Just saying because until I started reading CF I would have never used Techron or Seafoam...............
