Default truth or fiction???

good reading......I am curious to see if it is factual. I have emailed this link to several chemical engineers I work with and I will relay any feedback they may have. In the meantime......read up.

I have a buddy who tried this and told me it worked great. It , I believe, also adds more octane to the gas. One thing that I dont agree with in the article is saying that less octane gets better gas mileage. I have done my own testing in this and I have found that 93 amocco gets better gas mileage than does 87 octane.

Sounds pretty damn intriguing... I mean, how can 1oz in 10 gallons do too much damage, if any, and the chemical side seems to make sense the way he explained it. I could see it working.

I'll try it on my Jeep first !!!!!
