Okay, I know, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, just looking for opinions or what exactly is the deal here: http://gogreenvip.goxft.com/cgi-bin/in1.pl?inview=3&market=USA&language

It's a MLM product. I was invited to a meeting and they will try and convince you that their product is better than the stuff in your local auto stores. They gave me a sample and to be honest I couldn't tell a difference. Also, they love people that use 93 octane because they will tell you that with this stuff you are able to run lower octane and save money. So again it is a MLM product and I'm not buying it. I've tried seafoam and it seemed to work.

i would stay away from most of these so called fuel treatments/cleaners as most will damage/ruin 02 sensors, foul out spark plugs, and cause more problems than anything, just use a good synthetic based oil (i use ams oil) and routine maintenance and you should be good to go.

Uhhhh, sounds like a great deal to me, but I just invested all my spare cash in purchase of $2.00 bills to honor the National Park System

$10.00 gets you two $2.00 bills with unlimited potential for future increases in value. (These are gonna big collectors items in a few years!)

I know a deal when I see one, so I snapped a BUNCH of these puppies up...:cool4:

Only thing I run in my gas is seafoam which most don't know it will lower your octane if you use a whole can like I normally do. lol I just keep it under 3000 rpms when I have it in my tank until I refuel then back to normal driving.

Had to have my cats replaced on my Cougar because of the injector cleaners.

Guys & Gals.....

You can make your own (like I do) and get longer engine life and cleaner combustion chambers........upper cylinder lube and injector cleaning in one product......1/2 ounce per gallon at fill up!!:beer::bows:

Cost is pennies a gallon and benefits are enormous......I have 221+K miles on my original motor using this additive exclusively!!:D

PM me for details........my "Flame Suit" is at the cleaners!!:eek:

Sigh. Here we go again.

There are only 2 things you should ever put in your tank besides petrol: Gumout Regane or Chevron Techron. These products have been proven over time to be safe and effective at cleaning intake valve deposits and injector tips. Most of the other products on the market are mostly kerosene and although they generally won't harm anything, they don't DO anything useful, either.

Correction: SeaFoam is also acceptable.

The other side of the coin are the so-called octane boosters. These, without exception, do nothing. When they say they raise the octane by 4-7 "points", what they really are doing is raising it by 4 to 7 TENTHS, so 89 octane become 89.7 at the highest. You cannot run lower than 91 in a Marauder safely.

**EDIT: Marauderjack posted while I was writing this. I did not mean any of my comments to refer to him.

Yep!!! Most people don't read the fine print on the bottles and it clearly states TENTHS not whole number points.

Forgot to mention Lucas Oil Upper Cyl Lube works really good as well. I do see a MPG increase when using it.

How often should you put treatment in your tank?Regane or Techron should be used no more than 3-4 times year, preferably just before an oil change.
