The Ethos Challenge | 民族精神的挑战 |

There is So much scam out there when it comes to products who promise to save on gas, that I felt compelled to document my experience with Ethos FR.有如此多的骗局有说到产品谁承诺节省天然气，我觉得我的经验，以文件的精神 ，法国。

I first heard of Ethos FR in one of the networking meetings I attended.我第一次听到的校风，法国在其中一个网络会议，我出席。 One of the attendees stood up and talked about it, along with a health juice he was selling.一个与会者起立谈论它，加上他是健康的果汁销售。 The story of the health juice sounded so absord that it made me think that Ethos fuel reformulator was nothing more than snake oil.这个故事的健康果汁听起来如此absord ，它使我认为， 校风燃料reformulator只不过是万金油。 Nonetheless, I wanted to work with the fellow and so I arrange to meet with him and purchase one of his Ethos bottles.尽管如此，我想与同胞，所以我安排与他会晤，并购买他的一个校风瓶。

Now let me tell you a bit about my car:现在让我告诉你一点我的车：

it’sa Ford Probe, 1993  - my father in law’s first car.这是福特探针， 1993年-我的父亲在法律上的第一辆车。 My husband loves this car and wants to turn it into a race car.我丈夫喜欢这辆车，并希望把它变成一个赛车。 When I came back from Argentina, in 2006, I didn’t have a car to drive (I wrecked my Honda just before I left) and so I started driving the Probe.当我回来，来自阿根廷，在2006年，我没有汽车驾驶（我破坏我的本田只是在我离开之前） ，所以我开始驾驶的探索。 It has been sitting in the driveway for about 3 years and so needless to say - it was missing some TLC big time.它一直坐在车道约3年，因此不用说-这是缺少某些薄层大时间。

When I started driving it, it got 200-210 mile per tank (depends on who was driving it, me or my hubby当我开始驾驶它，它被认为是200-210英里每罐（取决于谁驾驶它，我或我的丈夫 ).  With over 110,000 miles on it, the driving was hard, it wasn’t driving smoothly at all and it was surely wasn’t going to pass the Texas emission test. ） 。凭借一十一点〇万英里上，推动很难，这不是在所有驾驶顺利，它肯定是不会通过德州排放测试。

The fellow from whom I bought Ethos fuel reformulator had a feeling that I didn’t think it would do anything to my car, and that I’d probably not going to use it.从他们的研究员我买校风燃料reformulator有一种感觉，我当时没有想到它会做任何我的车，而且我想可能不会使用它。 And so he poured it to my fuel and crankcase himself on the day I bought the bottle from him.因此他倒到我的燃料，并通过曲轴箱自己的一天，我买了一瓶由他。

To my utmost surprise, a week and some later, I started getting around 280 miles per tank and the car started driving smoother.我最大的意外，一个星期，一些后，我开始回避二百八十〇英里每罐和汽车开始驾驶顺畅。 My engine’s temperature went down and driving became fun.我的引擎的温度下降和驾驶成为乐趣。

Gas prices started going up in 2006. 天然气价格上涨开始于2006年。 In Austin, TX, price of regular fuel on Sept. 06 went up to $2.57 (remember those days?) and we started looking for solutions.于德克萨斯州奥斯汀市，普通汽油价格在9月06上升到2.57美元（记得那些日子？ ） ，我们开始寻找解决方案。 With those gas prices, I was saving 70 mils extra per tank, which is about 5 gallons and $13.27 per fill up.与天然气价格，我节省70米尔斯额外每罐，这是约5加仑和一十三点二七美元每填补。 You can tell I was pretty happy with the results so I kept using Ethos FR religiously in my car.你可以告诉我相当满意的结果，所以我一直使用校风，法国宗教在我的车。

Almost 2 years later, gas prices are now almost $4/gallon and my car’s mileage improved even more.近2年后的今天，天然气价格，现在几乎达到4/gallon和我的车的里程改善甚至更多。 In the last few fill ups I’m getting an average of 330 miles per tank.在过去几年填补起伏我收到了平均330英里的速度坦克。 Yeah, I was shocked too, so I started taking pictures:是啊，我感到非常震惊，所以我开始拍照：

Here’s my miles per tank on May 13th 2008: 这是我英里每罐在2008年5月13日：

And here’s the cost of fuel that day -和这里的燃料费用的那一天-

So my fuel savings on May 13th are $29.81 per fill up!因此，我的节省燃料的5月13日是二十九点八一美元每填补！

Here’s the calculation: 这里有一个计算公式：

340 miles - 210 miles = 130 extra miles per tank三百四十○英里-二百十英里= 130英里的速度额外油箱
130 miles divided by 16.00 (my initial MPG) = 8.125 gas gallons saved 130英里除以16.00 （我最初分钟） = 8.125加仑天然气储存
8.125 extra gallons X $3.67 (gas price per gallon on May 13th) = $29.81 saved per tank. 8.125额外加仑X 3.67美元（天然气价格每加仑5月13日） = 二十九点八一美元保存每罐。

On August 23rd: 在8月23日：

On September 23rd: 在9月23日：

With gas prices being $3.57/gallon 汽油价格正在$ 3.57/gallon

So, with an average of 335 miles per tank I am now getting an average of 125 extra per tank, which is a little over 9 gallons.因此，平均每罐三三五英里我现在得到的平均每125个额外的油箱，这是一个多9加仑。 At $3.57/gallon, I am saving about $32 per fill up.美元3.57/gallon ，我节省大约32美元每填补。 Look at the last picture where I paid $48.53 to fill up my tank.回顾过去图片，我支付四十八点五三美元，以填补我的坦克。 Deduct the $32 that I’m saving per fill up and you’d be shocked as I am to find that in these days of increasing gas prices, I only pay $16.53 to fill up my tank.扣除32元，我节省每弥补，你会感到震惊的是，我发现，在这些天的天然气价格提高，我只需支付一十六点五三美元，以填补我的坦克。 Or $1.22/gallon. 美元1.22/gallon 。
