Talk:Fuel Freedom International/Archives/2012

Ad article?
To me, this article looks a lot like an ad. I think I even tagged it as a stub incorrectly. Can someone do some research on this "organization" and do a cleanup on this article? Come to think of it... if it turns out to be an ad, you just might want to delete the article entirely and wait until a legitimate entry about the company turns up. It looks like this article was created by an employee themselves.


 * This article provides useful information, though. This company differs from other energy providers with similar names.  I visited this article by mistake, searching for Fuel Freedom, Inc.  Although the data in this article is not verified, it is an important fact that the company in this article is an MLM and produces a fuel additive. That much is not advertising, and at least that much should be kept.--EmmettLBrown 09:02, 30 June 2008

Removed this from 'See Also'
I took this out of the See Also section, it is undetailed, out of place, POV.

''Rebuttal: This customer quickly got to a 17% MPG increase and became a distributor whose mileage has held steady at 27, up from 23, for about 18 tank-fulls now....that's a 17% increase, more than the guarantee offered. ''--Dmol 16:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Scam?
This company seems to be associated with this Bob Pearson featured in this blog (http://www.bewareofbobpearson.blogspot.com/) and on NBC CHANNEL 5 News Story.

HERE IS A SAMPLE OF ONE OF BOB'S MLM SOLICITATION LETTERS: Dear Past Associate, If you are receiving this letter then you have been involved with me in a past company. I have kept your information in the event that one day a program would come along that would cause me to walk away from a very lucrative salary in an industry that I have been in for the past 35 years, insurance. Well it has.

As some of you know, that know me, I hit the financial “Home Run” in the mid-90’s with a direct sales company that sold gold coins. I earned more money in a two year period than I have earned in my best 5 years in the Insurance business. After that run was over I thought that it would be that easy to make money in any “Direct Sales” company. Boy was I wrong. What I did learn is that “Timing” is the most important thing in this business. After that you must have a product that everyone will buy and a pay plan that will not “FLUSH” 90% of your sales just to make the owners of the company rich. I was first approached about a year ago to get involved by the man that is now the top money earner of the company and told him in no way am I interested, I am done with direct sales companies and my insurance business is going better than ever. He respected my wishes and didn’t push me. WORST MISTATE I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!!!

The company is FUEL FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL, who in only one year in business has rewritten the record books on the direct sales industry by marketing a product called the MPG-CAPS. This company in now in over 120 countries and has the marketing plan, the internet tools and the pay plan that will allow anyone, whether they can sell or not, to make more money than they ever thought possible.

Spam or Scam or Real Cents?
I'm not sure which, if any, are relevant to this particular organization / product. I do know one things for sure ... Canada isn't allowed to "play" yet... Seems that there is no real date as to when they can ensure that we can do anything more than help them market here ... It appears as though there is some question as to whether the pill is effective or not. In spite of representatives (or the one we spoke to) inability to produce the product itself for retail sale in Canada he was also "unaware" that there were restrictions of any kind in place.

I deffinately got the feeling, after a couple bours of research and some long distance calling that this 'project' is one you want to spend some REAL time researching before you hand over your sin number and a payment of any type... Might even be worth give'n it some time to develope ITSELF ... Mom says... IF it seems to good to be true... It probably is. RycrocksRycrocks 02:09, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

The NASA connection
Company advertising claims that the project was "originally developed by NASA for the 1970's space shuttle program". The company website doesn't provide any source for this claim. I have e-mailed NASA to ask for confirmation of the connection. In the meantime, the report lodged by the company with the EPA cites SAE Technical report 900154 ("Effects of Ferrocene as a gasoline additive on exhaust emissions and fuel consumption of catalyst equipped vehicles", Schug, K.P, Guttmann, H.J, Preuss, Schamdlich, K, paper presented at International Congress & exposition, February 1990, Detroit, USA) as a source for it's claims on emissions. I have not been able to obtain a copy of this paper, but did have a look through the NASA technical reports server (see []for reports on ferrocenes, and there is nothing obvious to support the claims of a NASA connection.Nasier Alcofribas (talk) 20:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Test data
This article would be much improved by the addition of references to product tests conducted by credible, recognised, independent sources. The tests need to be to recognised international standards. Anecdotal evidence is not sufficient. Nasier Alcofribas (talk) 00:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Unclear Language
I request a revising of the section about the second ABC tests: "However, initial promising mileage improvements panned out over time and eventually degraded from what they were before using the pills."

I can't be 100% sure which direction is being argued for, or if there is a mistake in the choice of words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.179.96.19 (talk) 05:06, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Common importance of ecological problem
As my mind this article can be better if relation with common ecological problem was shown more details. Existence and growing of this and such company can be important for humanity, because value of the atmospherical polutions is growing.

Disparaging remarks
Fuel Freedom International is not to be misconstrued as a pyramid scam as the compensation plan solely focuses on product sales and new member sign-ups only boost your earning potential. The products have been rigorously tested, showing positive results when used properly and consistently. Direct marketing may not be suitable for people that expect to get rich quick as it requires extensive work in building your business; however, the earning potential is there if you work diligently. The previous remarks are discouraging and should be taken lightly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Complianceteam (talk • contribs) 20:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
