That's the whole thing with additives...you need to get the concentration just right. With a 13.2 G tank...there was no gain with 12 oz in the tank...at ~ 9.1 oz/10G....but at 5.3 oz / 10 G I see a 16% gain.

Also changed the fuel filter and added fuel line magnets. The old filter wasn't clogged...most people don't think magnets work.

But both the tank refill and the Scangauge pretty much agree on the mpg result.

Could be it cleaned up the injectors...could be working as a combustion additive....might be both.

Will test the next 1/2 tank at around 1.9 oz/10G....if my math is right.
