Anyone using gasoline additives

[Hayata]

Ditto on anything with a carb gets ethanol free. That’s a secert of life lol. Ethanol is trash we need to start a bill in congress to ban it in fuel. Total scam. I know the corn farmers will be sad, but they need to grow another crop or not depend on the government to pay them for something that’s not needed. Corn Subsidy makes no sense to me. Using our tax money to pay people for something that gets worse gas mileage and “kills” carbs, and not your friend in a gas online engine.

We should all email our reps about getting this bill started.

Especially this winter when millions around the world will be dying of starvation while we put corn in our gas tanks...nothing makes sense anymore.

My cherokee kept giving me #3 cylinder misfire codes- even after I changed the 02 sensors, plugs, and coil pack. I ran one thing of luiqi-moly through it and stopped immediately.

Air filters and proper tire pressure are better ways to boost your fuel economy.

Engines use 10x more air than fuel.

poopdaddy , the other day you mentioned a fuel additive / treatment /conditioner that was NOT alcohol-based,
but was rather OIL-based, and would cause an engine to run richer, not leaner.

What was that product again?

If I remember right, it might cause the exhaust to smell "minty" or something nice like that.

Sta-bil in non-ethanol gas for all my small engines.

I use 2 bottles Techron Complete System cleaner every oil change with a tire rotation for my F150. Stabil in the gas cans and Seafoam for a first run of the year in the lawnmower filled by oil change, filter and gas filter. I put it in both

Seafoam in small engines has done good for me.

No additives in my truck ,but I think Im gonna start puttin a gallon or so of non ethanol per tank to stave off the raunch of this crappy junk in the pumps.

Seafoam to clean the engine and then change the plugs and all fluids (usually when I get a used car)

Techron once in a while maybe like once a year figure it can’t hurt.

I have heard of Lucas in the gas I have tried it but have no easy way to colllect data to see if any of this really helps.

Be nice to see a long term independent crowd funded survey or maybe like on YouTube about this.

SeaFoam isn't liked by Scotty Kilmer- he was trying out a different fuel cleaner: https://www.atschemicals.com/

For my mowers and two cycle engines, I buy ethanol free gasoline. They run longer with fewer carb issues in my experience without ethanol.

I can get 90 octane close by, so that is my first choice. Don't use any additives in them.

That's what I try to run in every vehicle we own. Costs about $1.20 more per gallon but we average 6-8 more miles per gallon when using it. If it gets to expensive, we run 2 tanks back to back ever 6 tanks and it keeps the mpg up to at least 4 more per gallon. Lots of folks say you can't run it in newer stuff but we ain't had nothing newer than 2017 and it was just fine.

Here's the original Project Farm video using SeaFoam to help restore the engine in an old truck.
