I went to pick up a 3 quarts of oil ( I had one left over from last oil change) and ended up spending an hour at the store. This guy always tries to sell you a franchise for Amsoil. Before I went to the local Wal-mart to see what they had, but not one quart of synthetic MC oil let alone filters. But hey.. I figured the dealer has a seperate whse/store now, so maybe I can just buy the oil and leave. Fat chance. First I had to wait becuase he was on the phone with someone talking about his 6 figure income and how he has 12,000 dealers under him and now he had a "pill" that increases your fuel mileage up to 20%. After he got off the phone we covered his discovery of that for about 15 minutes. Finally he got the oil and filter in a bag and I forgot my check book so I had to go to an ATM machine since he doesn't take credit cards. Then I finally got on my bike to leave and he follows me out and talks about how his grown children are coming over for Easter with their dogs who pee on his carpet and tells me he is going to eat Easter diner alone at a restaraunt and divorce his wife for letting the kids come over with their dogs that pee on the floor. I think... is Amsoil really worth this hassle? It makes a person want to break down and get the oil changed at the dealer. The up side was he only charged me $6.60 per quart. The pain in the a#* discount

The gas milage pill is a con. Of coarse anyone with a lick of sense already knows that. The folks that believe that horse chit deserve to get taken IMHO. As metioned you can become a dealer for twenty dollars per year, then you will get your product at dealer cost less the salesmans life story.  Vegas

That doesn't change the quality of their products, however.
Is that good, bad or average?

A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Surprisingly, those wonder pills sometimes work, but not the way they claim. Some people will toss the useless things in their tanks and then change their driving habits, which is what really saves them some fuel.

LMAO, funny Grump. I should have done just that. The "Wonder pill" is a seperate deal he is working on. He said that if Amsoil found out he was trying to sell franchises he would probably be in trouble with the main Amsoil office becuase they sell fuel additives also.

Sure he wasn't talking about "fool" mileage?
Only pills I know of that increase your mileage are Levitra, Cialis and Viagra...
