You know, I saw this and decided to try it, and this works! According to my gas mileage display it went up 1.2 mpg, and I am keeping the same driving habits, I even did a burnout for the first time in the car and a few pulls to 60 and it still gets better gas mileage.

i just put 4oz in my truck today so i should be able to report back in a few weeks with the results. it should take a take or two to get the 100k miles of gunk out.

oh geez, another snake oil "fix your MPG and idle, and blah blah blah". Kind of like the whole acetone thing a while back.

It works for me. Better MPG and smoother idle. It also prevents the damage that ethanol **** does to the fuel system. Ethanol dries out any lubricating quality of today's fuel and attracts moisture. 2 cycle oil lubes the valve seats and lubes the cylinder walls. It also cleans the fuel system. 1 oz. Per 5 gallons of fuel.

I wouldnt count on it to do that. I deal with 2 stroke outboards everyday that still have ethanol issues. Most of the issues I see on boats is due to the cleaning effect that ethanol has. It cleans out any residue the old type gas left behind and carries it down the system and clogs filter and injectors. I wish there was something as simple as 2s troke oil to prevent these issues but there isnt. As far as giving better fuel mileage, who knows.

I know this works on diesels.... ULSD stinks. 2 Stroke oil does most of what sulfur did.....
