I do, but i only buy top quality ones. I've heard some stories about the cheaper ones taking the fuel pump to hell. Usually i'll just run some lucas thru my gas about once every six months.

In the winter and every once in a while in the summer I drop some Iso (ONLY ISO, NO METH) dry gas in the tank. As you may know, some stations do get water in their tanks that end up in our tanks!

Gives me gas......[:'(]

There are few "additives" on the market that I ever found useful, that regular sevicing didn't provide. BG Products makes some of the best stuff I've seen, all the way around.

I'd have to go with the Marvel Mystery Oil as well. Had a car with 155,00 that it was used all it's life. (Step-dad's car) Ynaked the engine at 155,oo due to nylon from the timing gears in the oil pump pick up screen, and decided to freshen the motor up. It looked like a motor with 50K on it, NOT 155K.....

Regular oil changes every 3-4K and never beaten. (Crown Vic 302, 1985)
