“Sure, I was skeptical when I first heard about
reduced fuel consumptions systems. There are a lot of snake oil salespeople out
there right now. In the past 25 years, I’ve probably met every one.
I’ve even wasted some time and money trying their products. But the Etorus FE
really works. The proof is in the numbers.” ITL’s fuel savings
through May 2007 were 10.81%. |

“We are particularly pleased with the Etorus Pay Per
Save™ Program, which allows us to immediately install the technology and
realize fuel savings without any associated capital expenditure or risk, while
reducing our emissions in the process,” said Jeff Cornish, the chief
executive officer of Performance Transportation Services, Inc., North America's
second largest transporter of new automobiles, sport utility vehicles and light
trucks located in Allen Park, MI. “We first installed the Etorus FE in 2006,
and our fuel savings, which are monitored by an independent company, continue to be
exceptional.”

Cameron Druyor Equipment
Manager, Rogers Group
“I had an L330D Volvo wheel loader, which is already a
pretty fuel-efficient machine, and I saw a 6% improvement. The greatest reduction,
32%, was on a Caterpillar 980C wheel loader. It’s pretty easy to do the math.
There’s a 3309 Terex haul truck that went from 12.8 gallons per hour down to
10.”
"First and foremost, we are interested in the health of
our employees. If we get a dollar savings, that's great. We're after trying to
reduce our emissions as much as possible. They (the installed devices) really do
seem to help."

“I was skeptical at the beginning about the device and
the program, but the numbers are really working out,” said Steve Hansen, vice
president of Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport
Inc., a Signal Hill, California trucking company with about 220 rigs in its fleet.
He reported that the company’s rigs installed with the Etorus FE have been
saving between 3% and 4.5% on fuel costs since January 2007".

Dan Winters
Director of Public Utilities, City of Unalaska “The more fuel prices rise, the greater the savings we will pass on to our customers by using this fuel saving technology,” said Dan Winters, the director of public utilities at the City of Unalaska’s Department of Public Utilities. “We made a commitment to this community to operate our generators in the most cost efficient manner possible and in doing so, go green and stay green, and this is a great solution to help clean up the environment while simultaneously reducing our fuel consumption and costs."
"Our initial response was that this was just another snake oil product, but when we further investigated, read the research results, and then checked the company’s references, we decided to try it,” said Jim Fitch, the City of Unalaska’s power plant supervisor. “We continually monitor our fuel consumption by employing advanced technology including flow meters, and after the first week, it had dropped by more than 5%, which is a huge savings when you use more than 2 million gallons of fuel every year. At today’s fuel prices, this translates to $0.20 per gallon in fuel savings for our city, which will amount to about $2 million over five years. We were so excited when we first saw the results that we kept checking every hour to see how much more fuel we had saved. Now after four months, we are consistently saving over 5% in fuel consumption and costs while reducing our emissions.”
