Also, if the "Motor Silk" works well in the Altima, then I'm putting some in the Yaris. I was introduced to it through an industrial division of this company. They supply our lubricants for tube bending at work and are coming in this week for a trial of some product that is new to us. It was a corporate purchasing manager from an other company I worked for that told me about the industrial lubricants and all of their divisions swear by them now. I felt safe enough trying the automotive product in my car because he was so insistant that these products work very well.
As I said, I'll keep everyone up to date on how well the stuff works in my Altima.

Sorry I was a little off in my calculations, the Altima is still only making 8L/100km, but still good for mixed driving I think. The car has really shown improvement, as far as smoothing out the engine and my gas mileage is definately better. My wife forgot to zero the counter when she filled up the first time, so I didn't get an accurate read, but I've done it this time, so will know in about a week or so.
