California Bus Fleet

-Memorandum-

ALGAE-X International recently participated in an evaluation, of its magnetic fuel conditioning units, with a major bus fleet in California, conducted by fleet operations personnel, extending over a period of 3 months. The evaluation was directed at studying the outcome of these units on fuel consumption in diesel-powered school buses.

The results were notable. The average miles per gallon, for the six vehicles, before installing the units were 5.753. After the installation of the ALGAE-X magnetic Fuel Conditioners, this increased to 6.391 MPG. The net gain was .638 MPG or 11.1%.

The data indicated that one of the vehicles had a negative result giving us decreasing fuel mileage. Eliminating this number from the aggregate data indicates the net improvement in fuel economy was 12.88%.

The report states:
“The use of this device has increased fuel mileage and slightly reduced emissions (opacity) in the six buses tested.” “Based on this rudimentary test there may be some fuel savings using the magnet device. The indicated average of 11.1% improvement in fuel mileage would be a substantial savings if the results bear up under long term, precision testing. Our bus fleet uses approximately 2.2 million gallons of fuel at $1.00 per gallon. Our approximate yearly savings would be $240,000.00.”

“We recommend looking further into the ceramic magnet device through enhanced testing over a six month period.”
