A uniform company owner sends a letter to us……

Received from a customer of the Platinum Injection System:

I own a uniform/laundry service and have been running a fleet of 12 service vehicles over a period of the last 20 years, I was going through old files in preparation for my rather modest retirement. Really looking forward to driving my paid for class A, Motorhome to places I had only read and dreamed about, after realizing my retirement income was not going to be sufficient to fully indulge my whimsy travel, I was going to have to put a limit on my travels.
One of my kids sent me this Platinum Gas Saver Device in hopes that it would help me travel a little more on the dollars I have. Well what the hell, I installed it as the directions specified and threw the paper work in my glove box. My nest weekend trip to the lake for a few days, along with a little jaunt of some 13 hundred miles to visit some old friends and revisit some old fishing water furnished quite a surprise. That same route, my last trip out, left me pretty disillusioned about the wisdom of doing any kind of travel in my motor home. Five hundred and nearly twenty dollars on gasoline alone. This time out, with gas prices within two cents a gallon higher or lower of the first trip, three hundred eighty three dollars. Same distance, same route, pretty much same gas prices. I was, frankly puzzled. Then I remembered that fuel thingy I installed. I got out the paperwork read it over and sure enough, that appeared to be my difference. Wow thanks kids.
Arriving home I resumed my task of getting rid of old papers Tax filings etc., dating back over the past 20 years. I found a little paper stapled to one of my monthly chevron gas bills, for my service trucks. The paper was an add out of one of the trade papers talking of this platinum fuel saver thingy on which I had written “got to check this out.”
Now comes the inconvenient truth. Twenty years of fuel bills, sometimes in later years, amounting to over two hundred hundred thousand dollars yearly. Lets see now, in my last year of business two thousand nine as things are winding down in the laundry and uniform business I see another add for this platinum fuel saver thingy for natural gas furnaces and boilers that has been available for thirty years and gives up to fifty percent savings on annual fuel bills lets see now if I just do a quick ball park estimate of my annual energy bills starting in nineteen eighty nine to the present, that would represent some six hundred thousand dollars. Lets just say my savings would have been thirty percent on utilities for the business over that time period. That would amount to some two hundred twenty one thousand dollars. If I add that to the fleet gas and oil savings over that same period of time that would be and additional eight hundred seventy five thousand amounting to a total savings over that time period, totaling one million ninety six thousand dollars. Invested incrementally over that same time period, according to savings yearly, in a self administered Roth IRA, that would amount to some five million in my retirement fund today. Now that folks, is truly an inconvenient truth, proving that hindsight is indeed 20/20. Oh well looks like I will have to do some additional work to make ends meet. Say I wonder if the HHOTek people are doing any hiring?
