what stuff do you use exactly, brand wise to clean it out..

I have been getting a consistant 15.5 mpg for the last 5 months on my 99 SS... that is all city driving, with the occassional fun spin of the tires, but I have compared... I went a whole week without stomping on it = 15.5.... next week I had the occasional fun tire spin = 15.4... not enough difference to be able to say it was cause by me stepping on it a few times...

actually it does. I was the guy who posted on it a couple months ago. let me break it down for you:

BEFORE:
city: 12mpg
highway: 16mpg

AFTER:
city: 17mpg
highway: 22mpg

And it still gets that good. It was an instant gain, and never dropped back off.
Hey Buddy, yeah i tried the chemtool stuff twice and i saw no gains with it. My car was a little more responcive but other then that saw no gains in mpg. I am going to attempt the motor oil cleaner when changein the oil. It was pyroil you used right?
