December 4, 1992

TEST METHODOLOGY:

The objective of the test was to see how Militec-1 affects fuel efficiency under strict laboratory conditions. The testing was performed by the Automotive Test Center of a laboratory* in New England that is respected in the automotive field and regularly performs similar testing for many automotive lubricants. The vehicle used in this test is a 1992 Ford Escort l.9L with a 5-speed transmission. At the time the test began, the vehicle had already accumulated 7,738 miles. The test is called a 505 drive test which is performed on a dynamometer and is computer programmed to simulate city driving. The accuracy of the test is verified by a combination of measurements. The rotation of the dynamometer is verified by a computer counter so that there is little variance to the total distance driven. The testing is done twice, once without Militec-1 and once with Militec-1 added. Each of the two testing periods includes repeating the drive program 2-3 times to get an average and to assure there are no significant errors.

The amount of fuel consumed is carefully measured to provide an accurate miles per gallon average. The fuel is measured by a gram scale measuring down to .02 gram. The weight and density of the fuel is also taken into consideration. The fuel is weighed before and after the drive and the amount is recorded.

TEST IMPLEMENTATION:

On Nov. 9, 1992, for the first testing period without Militec-1, the baseline 505 drive test was repeated several times. Once the baseline was obtained, Militec-1 was added to the crankcase at the ratio of 2 ounces per quart of oil for a total of 8 ounces. Nothing else on the vehicle was altered, tuned or otherwise changed through the second testing period. Militec-1 was not added to the transmission nor to other parts of the vehicle. The vehicle was then put on the road for a 3-week period, during which time it was driven a distance of 725 miles.

On Nov. 30, 1992, for the second testing period, the 505 drive test was again conducted (with 3 repeats) under the same testing conditions described above.

TEST RESULTS:

                        BASELINE                 WITH MILITEC-1

                        24.11 mpg                          27.3 mpg

IMPROVEMENT IN MILES PER GALLON USING MILITEC-1: 13.2%
