Proposed experiment: MPG-CAPS

Background:

While I'm very skeptical of a pill increasing my fuel economy, I'm willing to participate in an experiment which will prove or disprove the effectiveness of this.

More info here:

To watch the movie which tries to recruit you as a seller, see here:

Quote:
The MPG-CAPS isolates the sulfur molecules and other impurities found in fossil fuels, preventing the formation of sludge, varnish and acids that are harmful to fuel systems and engines. The MPG-CAPS have had Tests Conducted and Registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Test Facilities and have already been in use for more than thirty years by several municipalities, other government agencies and many commercial firms.

Experiment

The experiment will last for four tanks.

Five participants will each use MPG-CAPS for two tanks, and not use them for two tanks.

The experiment will be conducted in A-B-A manner, or in our case A-B-A-B. In other words, we will have one tank without the cap, one tank with, one tank without, and one tank with. This will demonstrate for certain if the caps do in fact affect fuel economy.

After we have 5 participants the experiment will begin. If a representative of MPG-CAPS will be willing to donate the needed pills it would be wonderful. If not alternative means of acquiring these pills may need to be determined.
