Go further, and longer on a tank of gas. April 6, 2010 Nukedude (Everett, WA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought some of this to use in a car that I had installed a K&N intake on. It is a 3.8 liter 6 cylinder that does not have a supercharger, but the supercharged version requires premium fuel. After installing the intake and filter my car would ping using normal unleaded fuel. This fixed that problem in the first tank of gas. I then noticed I was getting considerably better gas mileage. I keep track pretty well on my gas mileage, it has increased range by about 10-15% on three cars, 1 motorcycle and cleans up the gunk in my lawnmower. This oil is very handy as an octane booster and engine cleaner. A cleaner engine runs more efficiently and then tends to get better gas mileage. One gallon will treat 400 gallons of fuel. Buy it by the gallon and save a lot over the 5.25 ounce bottles at truck stops. I will be using this from now on in all of my gas and diesel engines. This is not really being sold as a gas saver but that is an added benefit. Engines will last longer with this oil. The only thing that should be on the label or bottle is a scale for the number of ounces. I use the 5.25 ounce bottles to meter it into gas tanks and fill off of the gallon jug. Buy four gallons and you get a good price break on shipping for a full case. Get a friend to split the cost and you are set for the next 800 gallons of fuel.
Good product, don't expect MPG increase though February 12, 2010 tela (UT, USA) I first bought a gallon of this a few years because of the MPG increase claims. I never noticed a difference in MPG, but recently I started using this product on a different car with 200k miles that requires 91 octane or above fuel. I had been using 87-88 octane for a long time and eventually I started hearing a pinging noise. After spending the extra money for premium for a while I remembered I had this stuff and decided to break it out of storage instead of buying premium gas.
It works great increasing octane level and killing the ping. It actually costs me less to buy this product than it does to pay for the premium gas. I only use about half of the recommended little bottles though, so about 2.6 ounces per fillup (15 gallons) and I notice no difference between using a half or a full bottle. I bought one of the little bottles and I just fill it up with the big one. I just bought another gallon from Amazon.
There is a noticeable increase in how the engine performs, the car accelerates better than before. Yeah I know this can be very subjective but even if it didn't improve performance I do believe it is keeping the engine cleaner than it would be otherwise, and like I mentioned before it's cheaper than premium gas.
But don't buy it for the MPG increase, you will probably be disappointed.
One con is that it is somewhat messy, especially in low temps where it moves very slowly.
Give it a shot. February 5, 2010 T. Woods I use this stuff with every tank that I put in my '94 4runner. Personally I notice a difference, both in mpg and how the motor runs, when I run this stuff. I know several people who swear by it as well. I think it really depends on the car/motor you have, but I'd definitely recommend giving this stuff a a shot. Even if it doesn't prove to be an mpg gainer, it's worth running every once in a while to clean out your injection system. At $22 and free shipping, I haven't found it cheaper anywhere else.
