Dingo - Fitch Results

[Richard Kolb]

Gee, I get 21 mpg now on average, I say average but commuting or all highway I still get 21 mpg. I wonder if it'd be worth it with how little I usually drive.



I'll do some math......



I'd take me 352 days at a ten percent increase to pay it off. That's 352 work days, or nearly 71 weeks.



At 13% I'd get it paid off in 56 weeks. That's not counting weekend trips and if I go on holiday so I guess it'd be less then that. If I drive 12000 a year, which is a tad high for me, I'd save $262 in gas in a year. 10000 I'd just about break even after a year.



In case someone else is wondering how it'll help them, figure an average of 10k a year and then a 13% increase with gas costing $4 a gallon.



Current mileage Savings in 10k

14 328.70

15 306.78

16 287.61

17 270.69

18 255.65

19 242.20

20 230.09

21 219.13



If gas cost more then you save more. It's interesting that the better the mileage you are getting the longer it takes to pay for itself.



Does their warranty cover multiple cars? Like if I sell the trac and put it on something else?

Here's what 4 Wheel Parts has to say on there web site. (click on link)

Roger

any time I have ever seen a vendor selling a product, I have never once seen them say anything negative about said product.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Bill,



Gee, ya think. But, I do not feel that 4 Wheel Parts would be in business long if they attempted to sell a product that did not live up to the claims. Although they might be exagerating just a little, or the CYA phrase of "depending on your driving habits".

 

[Chris Castineira]

I'm in for a group buy, Hell I'm pretty much sold anyways with out it.

[Bill Barber]

Will take two, has got to be the greatest item ever known.

 

[Dingo]

Yes, I'll be selling it.



Rodger, no tuning necessary. I didn't change my tune.

And I still drove like an a$$hole. My 5 highway tanks were to Louisville and back. The cruise was set over 100 mph most of the time.

 

[TRACket Paul]

Locally, Tognotti's, a major speed shop here, advertises on their street corner reader board and sells the "The Tornado".

FPF sells TB spacers, guess they work if they say so

 

[Richard Kolb]

That 4 wheel parts link is useless, all they are doing is trying to sell you something. If an independent company posts something that says it works, like a car magazine who isn't trying to sell it, that'd be more useful.

 

[Todd Z]

Do any testing on a Gen 1 ST ??????



Todd Z

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Dingo, Don't set your cruise over 75 here in CA or the CHP will find you.



Paul, You're very correct.

 

[Terry Schultz]

Todd - It appears Rodger might be willing to do that for the Gen 1's.



If you are not Rodger, I'm sorry I used your name.



I'm ready to try it in my '07 4.0 -- Dingo has a 4.6.

Rodger, I dare them to catch me.
