Has anyone had any luck with fuel additives? I know modern day fuel already is supposed to include conditioner and what not. Just wondering if anyone has played around with this idea yet and what gains if any were found.

your pocketbook will be lighter so you should get more MPGs !

If you are regularly buying name-brand gasoline (Shell, Chevron, Mobil, etc), their additives are pretty much already in the gasoline. If you are experiencing problems that could be fuel related (slight hesitations, decreased performance), a bottle of Techron every 20,000 miles or so may be warranted, but I've never seen the need for them myself, although I have used them in the past. Probably a placebo more than anything.

I am using a product which rocks!!! I got an extra 80 km out of my last tank.

I drive a 96 Windstar...not the smoothest or newest ride but it gets me from A to B. The mileage is the pits. I sometimes get less than 300km in my 76 L tank.

Since I started using my product I am hitting around the 400km mark in 76 L. I always do the same kind of driving, I am the only person to drive my vehicle and the load in the van is always the same...just groceries...smile.

It took a few fills to see any improvement, in fact initially when i started using the product my mileage went DOWN! I contacted the company and they told me to hang in there...it was probably due to the detergent cleaning the built up carbon out of the engine. I hung in there and now I am so pleased.

In addition to better mileage, i noticed my van has more vroom vroom...aka pep.

I also found out that this company is up for an eco award - nominated by the Green Business League. Because the fuel is more completely burned you have fewer emissions.

I say it is a win win.

Hi Karen:

We are using techniques that rock and can double your Van's FE without a magic elixir. Any claim about lowering emissions and a more complete burn is total BS.

This is your last post about this subject so I would take heed.

Making a commercial 1st post is a lose-lose for you.

Try talking about yourself, your ride like your are not promoting a product.

I'm going to recommend your screen name have the product name removed.

Hi Karen (If that is your real name?):

Your new login is: karen is BS Additive. Do not ever try and pawn your user name off as a product name here or anywhere else on the net ever again. I should have banned you the instant you signed up.

Chuck, take the hammer out and it is time to add your "special avatar" ;)

Karen when you view this post as a banned member or guest, I think you will get a kick out of what is coming next :)

Hey Wayne,

Thank you for your comment. What are you doing??

KKaren,

You are intelligent enough to join a forum - so you are definitely smart enough to understand no ads or spam.

Your feigned cluelessness on this is behaviorial - such people get escorted out quickly.

*chuckle* :rolleyes:

You know what spammers, trollers and chronic speeders that give CleanMPG members grief have in common?

They know EXACTLY what they are doing, yet pretend they are too clueless and helpless to do anything about it.

They are behaviorial

That word is probably going into our dirty word filter as I just tossed the B-word at Karen again. :p


Update: Karen joined again under a different name - she really needs a good therapist.

Hey Wayne,

This place would not be the same without your special "commentary". Even if it is non-verbal :D :D :D

Wow it was'nt my goal when I started this thread for people to get banned. I guess stupid questions get stupid answers.

Rundall, you asked an honest question, and all questions are welcomed. It never hurts to ask or even comment on other questions, because it encourages communication and the sharing of knowledge, and all readers can benefit from that.

Those who join in the attempt to profit off the members of this online community, having no intention of contributing, get the door slammed on their fuzzy little toes.

Never hesitate to ask or share. You're among friends and we're all eager to help each other.
