Bio-Performance Gasoline Pill
We blogged this little gasoline pill called Bio-Performance on Strange New Products last December, and since then it seems to have become a stage for debate.
As of this writing, there are 49 comments posted in what seems to be a debate over the efficacy of this gas mileage boosting product. The pill is sold through an MLM (multi-level marketing) hierarchy. So, some of the commenters are marketers themselves claiming the pill has done wonders for their car's gas mileage. Some of the other comments are folks who are "poo-pooing" this pill as being a fraud. Others still are trying to take a neutral stance and evaluate this objectively. What's driving this comment frenzy is the fact that Google lists our blog post at the top of the search results for "gas pill" and "gas mileage pill". We also rank #6 for the term, "gasoline pill". It doesn't help to search for "bio-performance" because that's also the name of a beauty product. So, this is the reason why MLM'ers keep posting positive comments, and why others keep countering them. I just enjoy reading the comments! | |||

The negative types have shown they don't know for dead sure and others have posted non factual posts and the positives are untrusted as they have a prejudice for defending thier choice.
I do find this formant tedius as it does not help. It is too bad eveyone has an agenda rather than just dealing in facts. By
I have a retail store in Utah so I sell the product out of my store.
I have checked with the BBB and found no negitive comments. I also had a tough time getting in touch with anyone in Texas (Bio Performance Corporate Office) So we send one of our partners to investigate. We met David Bass.
He is a great guy and very helpful.
The only way you can know for certain is to give it an HONEST try no motivation, no agenda, just try it.
I understand that Baylor University is testing the product. We are anxiously awaiting their report. We have heard that their initial report is positive.
Let us all wait and see By
As far as agenda goes, honestly I may have one. I do hope the product has favorable results. If it does and I can tell my personal story I would think that a large number of people would be interested.
Do your homework. Visit their website. Read up on it. Do not just take what people say in this forum as gospel.

I'll keep you posted...liv'n truthful in Indy, IN. By
What it really boils down to is that people refuse to accept that this product is as good as it says it is, however, in my case, it was even better than it said it was. I got a 90% increase on my FIRST TANK. It's not to good to be true, it is simply really good. It is just what america (and the rest of the world) has needed since the beginning of the industrial age, and those who open their minds and try the product unbiased will be the ones to profit from it.
Eventually, this product will be used in every car in the world because people will start to realize that they are helping themselves by using it. It doesn't hurt me or any IBO any if there is one or two close-minded grumps that refuse to use the product even after seeing the endless positive results. If they insist on paying more for fuel, they are only hurting themselves.
As regarding the talk about "agenda", I suppose that my agenda is to save money on fuel and make some money also. If trying to make and save money is a sin, I encourage anyone who is innocent of that sin to cast the first stone. I think we all know that argueing with people on forum sites is not going to achieve anything, let alone the agenda of making and saving money.
As for the talk about "pyramids", all of the successful businesses in the world are pyramids. (Wal-mart, Microsoft, Exxon) However, some pyramids are more efficent than others. If you got a job at wal-mart right now, you would be at the bottom of the pyramid, and you would be stuck there until someone else decides that you can move, you would never earn what you are worth. While the managers sit around and talk, you do their work and they are the ones that get paid more than you. You would also be trading your time for money, and since you only have so much time in one day, there is a very low ceiling on what you can make. These are all reasons why linear income should be the illegal pyramid, and multiplex income (like BioPerfomance) should be the accepted form of income.
For those of you who say they didn't get any increase in gas mileage, It would be to your advantage to realize that the majority of the people that used this product got amazing results and to realize that if even half the peole got results, you are going to make money from it. Just because you didn't receive results doesn't mean you should keep your family and friends from saving money.
However, by all means, if you don't want to be paid what you earn, save money on fuel and help others do the same, don't bother with the product or the business. By

I know there are many nay-sayers and that is fine. But I you would like to see and INDEPENDENT TEST by ISO 9000 labs please email me at jbanks522@direcway.com
I find the best source of information is from someone who has nothing to gain one way or other. When making choices in my life I find it best to deal in facts not opinions, guesses, or attitudes.

I drove the same 100 mile loop with the same cruse control on, pulled into the gas station and filled the tank, it took 8 gallons, what savings, it's just a big scam for suckers. By
I did not get sucked into this scam. Many people I know did and they are paying dearly for it. Be cautious of what you put out there. Do your homework. Know what yo are up against. Tell everyone. By
A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. Pyramid schemes have existed for at least a century. In addition, other methods of conducting business known as multi-level marketing (MLM) and as "matrix schemes" often closely resemble pyramid schemes (although unlike pyramid schemes, which are almost always frauds, MLM and matrix schemes are in many cases regarded — at least legally — as legitimate business methods).
Pyramid schemes are attempts to confuse potential consumers into complicated but convincingly fool-proof money making scams. The essential idea behind each scam is that the individual only makes one payment, but somehow they are promised to receive exponential benefits from other people as a reward. A common example might be that a victim is enticed with an offer that, for a fee, allows them to sell the same offer to other people. Each sale includes a fee to the original seller. Clearly, the fundamental flaw is that there is no end benefit; the money simply travels up the chain, and only the originator wins in swindling his followers. Furthermore, the people in the worst situation are the ones at the bottom of the pyramid: those who subscribed to the plan, but were not able to recruit any followers themselves. To embellish the act, most such scams will have fake referrals, testimonials, and information.
Although pyramid schemes have been declared illegal in many countries, they still persist in various forms
Wal-Mart, Microsoft and Exxon are not Pyramids as you say they are. They do not promise exponential return and they are not selling with smoke and mirrors. You are getting a jumbo pack of batteries in bulk from wal-mart. They are not super battieries and they don't tell you to go out and power your entire house on them. They don't tell you to buy in insane quantities and sell them to your friends and neighbors, they don't promise to save the environment. They simply provide enough to power your mp3 while you work-out, and if they don't work whne you buy them, you can take them and and get your money back. They sell products that work and don't profit on those that don't. The cashiers also don't buy into to their positions and regardless of how much they ring up, they get the same pay for their time. Clearly there is a difference in pyramid and retail.
Why don't you try a little education you big ass! By
If an underground, non advertising MLM company had actually found a way with a supplement to let people live 15%-20% longer after 4 meals, it would instantly go to mainstream knowledge. By
THIS IS NOT A FRAUD ! THERE IS A PRODUCT That is biodegradable, non-toxic, no carcinogens, non-hazardous, doesn’t smell like moth balls, and its free to join now. This Product Works as soon as you start using it , no waiting 4 or 5 tank fulls for results, then, well, try the powder, its supposed to work better and, maybe, you should change your fuel filter. This Product isn"t a Secret Magic Pill. This Product has proven results, with over 100 million dollars in yearly sales, to returning satisfied customers. Until recently, only big companies with huge fuel expenses were interested in mixing 1 oz. liquid Product per 10 gallons of fuel gas or diesel, to increase fuel milage and reduce maintaince costs. This Product cleans and lubricates the internal parts of the engine without the use of petroleum-derived products commonly found in fuel additives.There is another huge benefit of a cleaner better maintained engine, it produces far less pollution. Our main objective is to make fuels self-cleaning and self-lubricating without increasing toxic emissions. Here's a copy of recent company update "4-E Team members.

Yes, the web site says the product was tested by an accredited laboratory. (1) Which one?
An ISO test only means that a product tested in one country is tested the same way in another country, thus the 'standard'.
Mary Kay, Tupperware and Avon never had any disclaimer that said they do not guarantee anyone any results using the product. (2)Why does the BioPerformance company web site say on its own disclaimer page “BioPerformance™ , Inc. doesn't guarantee anyone any results using the product”?
Hmmmm? By
Call me at 321-684-5530 anytime for more info. Tom By
Great that a major University is doing a study of the BP product. Which university?
Still waiting for the name of the accredited laboratory that did the "ISO" test, and an answer to why the BioPerformance company web site say on its own disclaimer page “BioPerformance™ , Inc. doesn't guarantee anyone any results using the product”. By
You keep saying the tests prove it works! But WHICH tests??? I am looking to buy if you prove it works. I am waiting on your documented proof. Not your repetitive descriptive views! By
I bought a bottle of the powder for $40. I am willing to lose $40 before losing $500 and my reputation.
I will let you all know my findings. Or if you wish you can email me at amber@OhioProperties.org (my business email). By
The ISO 9000 is an independent agency. So what do they have to gain? Their tests results showed significant gains in mileage and a reduction in harmful emissions. Don't just say this is a scam. Give us a link to a site that proves it. By
As for why the BioPerformance site cannot guarantee results is simple. There are so many different types of cars in different conditions driven differently. If they say you will get 15% better mileage and someone has a lead foot and gets only 14.5% they would sue them for fraud. Haven't you noticed every product that shows some kind of increase in something or tells you that you will lose weight always adds in "your results may vary"? Try it if you want, but don't say it doesn't work if you haven't. By

Read the whole thing and it will enlighten you on the so called product. Also, virtually every MLM is a scam. The way to "make it" in business is to open and start a legitimate business, which means hard work, some capital, and patience. MLM is simply a waste unless you are a liar and a sociopath.

Which is the Bio Performance website. I haven't signed up with BP but started using the pills today. After a few days of research I have to give the edge to to Ethos.
It appears Ethos has the critical test data and track record of independent testing that could really take momentum from BP. I did sign up to reserve spot for no obligation Ethos MLM. I would recommend you doing the same as you can see the enrolled #'s on the home page going up almost be the minute.

Good Luck all and I look forward to more comments By
I'm not sure why everyone is passing over the ISO 9000 tests. Independent labs tested the BP pill. If you want to say they are in on it, show proof. ISO 9000 has been around for awhile and is used as a benchmark for many products. But then again...maybe you should listen to the few people out of thousands that complained to the BBB instead of checking the test results the ISO 9000 has published. Makes sense to me. By
I am the President of a small wholesale distribution company. The Bio Performance product was brought to me by a friend that wanted me to sell it out of my store. I was VERY skeptical, but even more so when I heard it was a network marketing company. I tested the product first, because my customer are the heart of my business, if they are not happy with me my business dies. I didnot want to sell something that did not work.
I drive a 2003 Chevy Cavalier that that gets terrible gas mileage. 23.57 MPG... That is stink for a 4 cyl car. Using Bio Performance my mileage increased to 30.78 MPG. I am a conservative driver, I drive the same route to work everyday, I am VERY aware of mileage and gas prices. I am the kind of guy that will drive ten blocks to save 2 cents on gas.
I did become a distributor because I tested it and it does work. I don't know why some people are saying that it does not work... I have to question if they really tried or if they are just bitter MLM losers... Like I was. I hated MLM cause I have never made any money on the damn things.
What I can tell you is the it is working for me. To prove it to my wife, I recently stopped using the product and let her watch our mileage go back down to 23 MPG... I am sold!
Last night on the news, I saw a story that talked about a new type of bathroom tile that cleans itself. It was invented by two scientists. It had 2 enzymes and a catalyst... Can't wait for people to start bashing the self cleaning bathroom tile... Good luck and feel free to call me with questions.

I think it's a joke By
While Ethos and many others try to figure out the network marketing techniques mastered by Bio Performance, they continue to fall behind on the massive sales growth that BP is capitalizing on by simply selling the product and not waiting. The numerous experiences will tell you that the Bio Performance customers are very happy with the results- Network Marketing at its best!
The numerous false claims listed here hold no weight in truth as these bloggers have not experience the product 1st hand. Bio Performance continues to dominate this industry..just ask us for the results. By
It's always interesting to see people state that they have a "new" vehicle that now idles better. If your "new" vehicle idled roughly, there was a problem from the get go and you should have taken it back to the dealership.
People's basic understanding of gasoline is pretty poor at best. Look at how many people insist that putting a higher grade of fuel than required in their vehicle will make it more powerful!
I have been stunned at how easily people get duped, but, hey it's a free world right? If people want to get duped they can!
EDH UK By
Why are you talking about a higher grade of fuel in regards to the fuel pill?
If you have proof the pill doesn't work, just give the proof. I'm always amazed at people that just spout something as if it's fact and don't bother to offer anything to back it up. "Hey, ummm....this stuff doesn't work and you're wasting your money"
If you're going to take time to post here, you should try reading some of the sites that list the proof. If you can show the results are flawed, then do so.
Your comments aren't worth the chat ink used to post it. By
Ah, the good old distributor. Even your comments are precicely the SAME as in the LifeWave energy patches scam (any MLM scam).
The USA is in an energy crisis situation. The government makes new laws about how many mpg vehicles should achieve.
Meanwhile, we have a humble MLM company with the answer to a prayer. Yet, no rush to meet with company execs to work out a deal to save this country from the energy crisis?
Your comments about high grade fuel in my post demonstrate you didn't even read it carefully.

You people ALL need to get a life and stop wasting your most precious commodity.
(hint: it's not the gas in your tank)
...IT'S YOUR FREAKIN' TIME YOU FOOLS.
Don't any of you realize that, for every second you focus on utter garbage, non-productive, non-value producing activity like this...you do absolutely nothing but create more of it?
You're the kind of folks who have made America a second rate country on it's way down the economic shitter.
I bet many of you are the same folks who whine and complain when a new show airs that doesn't agree with whatever shallow values you have left, right?
You call your city council, write the mayor and your state representatives, the BBB, the FBI, the FTC, the attorney general and anyone else dumb enough to give you 2 seconds so you can say "look at me, pay attention to me...I'm a helpless victim and they're hurting me and others, I just know it!"
Hey...here's an idea:
Why not take responsibility for YOURSELF and stop worrying about everybody else so much. If you don't like what's on..CHANGE THE FREAKIN' CHANNEL OR TURN THE TV OFF YOU MORON! Like I'm about to permanently on this time wasting, genetic bouillabase of a web site posing as a legitimate information source.
Stop being a bunch of whining victims. Get off your asses and do something that adds value to this world and get over all the pathetic drama and quest for pseudo intelligence that you apparently crave so much. By
