The best method of testing ring condition is with a leak down tester or a blowby meter. As the cylinder wall wears the ring end gaps open up by a factor of pi. Nothing that you pour out of a can is going to correct that condition. If you at all serious about gaining fuel economy put in a set of Total Seal gapless rings. With proper cylinder bore prep you can achieve near 100% seal. More power also.
