THERE IS NO MIRACLE ADDITIVE!

not Acetone,
not HHO,
not doo-doo methane.

the only thing that really makes a difference is watching your driving habits. And this doesn't necessarily mean grandpa-ing it. Getting up to speed too slow is just as inefficient as gunning it.

You need to get the carbon out of the engine, you can hit the gas hard two three times a week, or you can try the additives, plain and simple.

I'm not talking about cleaners, I' m talking about miracle mileage boosters.

and I'm quite familiar with the Italian Tune-up. My comment was that babying the skinny pedal too much keeps you in low inefficient gears and burns gas too.

I agree with this.Ive found the perfect mph for my truck is 45-50 with my rpm staying between 1k-1300 to maintain this speed.I can really just coast once I reach this speed and it is definitely my best mpg range.
