RE: Z Max
I have used it for the past 12,000 miles and I think it has helped with mpg a little and oil looks to be in good shape when I change it. There is quite a bit of research done to back up the product and Carrol Shelby puts his name behind it
. Even if it only adds 2mpg's; the price is like $40 and you only use it every 6,000 miles, so it probably pays for itself in mpg alone.

Yeah, here's a good one to read...[/align][/align]It's snake oil, think of it this way:[/align][/align]The auto industry is in a HP/MPG race, and they pay the EPA fines for not meeting CAFE standards.[/align][/align]If there was some miracle crap that could add HP and MPG don't you think they'd be recommending its use and shipping every new car?[/align][/align]Or, don't you think that one of the major motor oil companies (Mobil, Shell, Pennzoil, Valvoline, Castrol, etc.) would be including it in their Super-Duper Whiz-Bang Premium ('cause we can charge more for nothing) blend?[/align][/align]I guarantee you that Exxon/Mobil has more than enough capital to buy Z-Max2000 or3000 times over if they felt it was worth it...[/align]
