You tell me if it doesn't work or not, don't care, I know it isn't hurting my performance

That stuff is a bottle of gas

I can't tell you how many bottles of that **** I've sold and have never heard from anyone that it does anything other than burn.

Actually if you ever handle it you'll find it's a very fine oil, not a solvent or volatile fuel. Like I said, I ain't got no proof but I'm not gonna stop using it now

That is the exact same product I ran in my first firebird, and am now thinking of running in my truck.

Most branded gas has fuel treatments in their fuel

i read that too, supposably it cleans your entire fuel system from pump to injectors.

the mix was so tiny i dont see how it could harm your engine if your only running it once every couple of months.

but then again im not sure ive never tried it lol

I like the Chevron stuff. I've just seen a lot of crap in baskets that no "cleaner" is going to get out.

One that wasn't mentioned is old school MARVEL MYSTERY OIL. I think that is great stuff!

Old school. i used to run Marvel way back, I mean way back in the olden days. I think the Lucas stuff is a lot like it but developed for efi systems.
