Ok, this is what i did to get an average gain of 70 more miles per tank of gas.

Poured in the Pyroil Engine flush into the crankcase, ran the engine for 5 min. Then changed oil like usual. Put in the new oil, drove the car till it was on Empty (only took about 10 miles ) Then filled up with Premium gas. Then poured in the B-12 Chemtool into the gastank. After that I went from averaging 200 miles per tank, to averaging 270 miles per tank. And that is not driving it like a grandma, I like to put my foot in it.

All of the stuff cost me about $9 at Kragans. Has paid for itself MANY times over. I've run at least 12 tanks through, and the lowest I got was 255 miles to a tank (which was just once). Everything else has been 270 and up.
