I'm getting ready to try a bottle of this. I know one of the guys that works at the company and he has been able to provide me a lot of information on this.

Was wondering if anyone tried it?

I've never tried it. I'm doubtful that it will be helpful in any way beyond injector cleaner and fuel stabilizer.

You're much better off cost and performance-wise to find a good gasoline station that sells some 100% gasoline with a cleaning agent. There's a Shell in my town that sells 93 octane as 100% gas, with their V-power cleaning agents. Your car will get better mileage with 100% gas than with the "up to 10% ethanol" stuff. Lots of things can effect your mileage of course, but getting the right kind of gas and continuing to use it is best. I'd buy lesser octane as long as it had the 100% gas but so far I haven't found it.

Now that winter is ending, alot more 100% gas will be available. Ethanol cuts back on smog for the winter time. Alot of places have mandates that Ethanol be used.

Was able to find a gas station in Newport TN that consistently gives me 40+ miles per gallon. Added the prerequisite 2fl.oz. today... have to wait and see what effect it has...

Do you just dump the whole bottle into your tank or what?

If I'm trying to clean my injectors I dump a whole bottle into a half a tank.

I usually just use it as a top engine cleaner though and use half to a whole bottle into the intake. Since I have a MAP I can just run it right in the throttle body. That doesn't work so good for the folks with a MAF though.
