http://www.bladeyourride.com/The Blade is a product which attaches easily to your tailpipe and decreases emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, and significantly increase fuel economy. Well OK.  So the ricers are doing it wrong. They forgot the screen across the back.

Sounds like the particulate traps used in 07+ diesels. Except those use heat to keep them clean. I wonder how much their handy little invention costs. :wink:

How can a filter, which obstructs your airflow in the tailpipe, increase gas milage? I may not be the sharpest tool but>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey!!! Maybe they're on to something!!!
Let's tell the ricers the next thing is duct tape across the hole. That'll REALLY reduce air pollution!!!! And noise pollution!!!! And RICER POLLUTION!!!!

Hello, The difference between all the other products that have been called "snake oil" and this one is, We have extensive test results showing the effects of the Blade http://www.bladeyourride.com/Blade-511-Results.html - These testing methods are EPA-511 protocol combined with Highway fuel economy - which requires three baseline tests and three product tests. this testing is the only tests the EPA would accept prior to them doing testing for any products available in the US. The blade causes a back pressure which allows the cat to heat up faster, It also allows the Oxygen Sensor to get a richer reading which is sent to the system computer. the system adjusts the fuel mixture at intake making the mixture leaner. This product was designed to reduce particulate material which is harmful to human health. However, after we conducted laboratory tests using the methods described above we learned that it was also reducing fuel consumption. I invite anyone who is interested in learning more to visit the link above as well as the "how it works" page on the www.bladeyourride.com website. If you have any questions I would be happy to discuss them with you. Thanks This product |

Actually, looking at the test results in the link you posted, I understand the methodology meets the 511 program requirements, but two models of the largest selling engine/transmission combinations are supposed to be tested. Am I missing something?

Hutchman, you would have to be a sucker to pay more in fuel costs to operate your car than you need to...I'd say you have a lot to learn...

Code, We used the testing sequence required in the 511 protocol. If you read the EPA requirements it specifies using the largest "selling" engine transmission combination in the United states. not the largest engine/transmission combination http://www.epa.gov/otaq/consumer/devices.pdfThe EPA doesnt endorse or certify any products. The EPA does require testing of more than one vehicle which we have done. The Laboratory we used in California was listed on the EPA website as one who does this type of testing and whos Lab equipment is checked and certified by CARB. Our goal was to verify the emissions findings in our product. The fuel savings was an effect we did not plan on but you will notice the C02 reductions is the same as the fuel savings percentages. We have done additional testing to determine why this effect was created. We have also added these findings to our website. http://www.bladeyourride.com/howitworks.html I also did a road test yesterday on a 2007 Chevy Impala V6 with an Active fuel management system. The vehicle was at 25.3 MPG after 200 miles, I installed the Blade then drove back the same route and the mileage went up to 29.0 MPG. |

Hutchman, you would have to be a sucker to pay more in fuel costs to operate your car than you need to...I'd say you have a lot to learn... I am probably much older than you and have seen this kind of stuff for years...... Sorry.......... However, being somewhat of a non-believer, I would be happy to do some real world testing with your device and publish real world numbers, no matter what the outcome. If you are interested in putting your device to the test on the street, please contact me. BTW, I would be using a 2007 GMC Sierra as the test vehicle. It has 1400 miles on it and would make a great test bed. If your device works the way you state after my real world test, I will purchase the device. If not, I will send it back to you. Either way though, I will publish the results. It's your nickel........whaddayathink? Quote from above "I also did a road test yesterday on a 2007 Chevy Impala V6 with an Active fuel management system. The vehicle was at 25.3 MPG after 200 miles, I installed the Blade then drove back the same route and the mileage went up to 29.0 MPG. That is not a very accurate way to test for mileage. I can drive my car 150 miles from my house towards Seattle and get much better mileage on the way back due to terrain. Plus you have the inaccuracies of using different gas pumps and filling positions. You did use actual fuel used and not the trip computer didn't you? My offer stands. If I am wrong, I will fess up........if your device is ineffective, I will report that also............ |
