The Monk 50 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've used it. Wasn't that noticable really.I got maybe 1 or 2 mpg more than I used to but unless you drive strictly to find out the results, I doubt it's that brill. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 fuel addatives are a myth! dont do jack shit really.You shouldnt really hammer the engine when the engine is cold though.... had you had used the search box at the top of the forum... you would have come across this article:http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?152075.0 Link to post Share on other sites
