Post subject:  Ubiee Powerpill

With regard to cheaper fuel and the forthcoming Emission changes, I've been using the Ubiee Power Pill for the last month, I was very sceptical, to say the least, (being tight) about its claims, but can now wholeheartedly recommend it 100%

Its the dogs bollox, emissions that reach Euro 4 standards!! I now get about 35 miles extra out of a tankfull of derv, and the engine purrs like new! (its done 233'000)

Each pill costs about £2.30, but saves me around £6 for every tankfull.

You don't need to be good at maths to see you get your money back and a lot more.

Sadly this does'nt get me out of this expensive Euro 3 upgrade this summer for all pre 2001 London taxis, as the PCO claim they will have no way of monitoring your usage of the Powerpill, but regardless, I'll keep using them.

Their www if anyones interested.

A few of the Dial a Cab fleet drivers have also written their testimonials here.

A right daft question, but why aren't we all using it then?

Or are we all a tad thick? :?

Maybe it is because we have not heard of them before, or tried them.
I will give them a go and see if it makes any difference with/in/on my OLD Metrocab. The tests look impresive.

I guess the newer the vehicle you drive, the less impact on your fuel savings will take place.

As Mac says, they're not common knowledge outside of the London trade, but are getting more popular.

The company is currently moving to bigger premises to cope with the demand.

I believe they (the pill) have roughly the same additives as that 'premium' fuel that BP sells, whereby your paying as you fill, although I don't know if it gives you quite the same results though?

With their multi Billion pound profits last year, you have to ask why the additives are not added as a matter of course, and at no extra cost to the motorist?

This Metrocab owner did, and he seems to be very happy with the results.

I tried these pills in my Y plate TX1 and although the cab ran smoother and I think there was less smoke, the mpg was unchanged, so stopped using them.

The assie seller wants AUS$20 to ship, which is @£8 ?? :?:

I agree it won't have the same results for everyone, all I can say is i've noticed a lot more miles, and no smoke for what now amounts to a little over a pound a fill up.

That sells it to me! :wink:

I had a 'major' last month, and the fuel filter was as clean as a whistle from when it was last changed 20'000 miles ago!

I've just checked the invoice, the P&P comes to a tenner, it's still a very good deal compared to the prices over here.

10 packs from JV Brights in Southwark comes in at about £220.

They are now available on E-bay, the main UK supplier stopped selling them last month.
