Has anyone else heard/tried this?
I have listened to the ATN radio show on 700WLW/XM 173, and the OTR drivers that call in swear by it. I know what most folks say about oil additives, "snake oil."
But, I found it on the shelf at Meijers, and thought I would give it a try. Thirty bucks, and I could use it with the wife's van and my truck.
We left the dealership, after getting the wife's van looked at and oil change, and drove about 20 miles to the nearest Meijers. I put in half of the suggested amount, 6 ounces, and drove home, about 30 miles.
The overhead console read 12.2 MPG before we left for the day, and did not change until we left Meijers. To my surprise it was 13.4 MPG when we got home.
Now I know that on boards MPG calculators are notoriously off, but usually they are consistently off.
The way I look at I have to at least recoup $15 of gas savings to pay for half of it. By using the console numbers, and known fuel tank size theoretically she could save 2 gallons, or get 28.8 more miles per tank full.
After adding it to both vehicles, I did notice that the engine seemed to smooth out a bit, and quiet down.
We will see, the trucks DIC was showing 14.6 MPG, and tonight I did not get to go out of town to get a good idea of whether or not it will improve. I will keep you updated.
