I just went through a rough stretch of bad mileage. I started using Lucas fuel additive again and my MPG average went from 33 mpg to 40 mpg. You have to be consistent in your use and always have a bottle ready to pour into the tank.

I use the middle one. The Lucas fuel treatment. I buy it in the gallon jug to save money.

One thing I have noticed is that Lucas had a genius to make the fuel treatment, but a complete moron to design the plastic bottles they come in. Every size I have bought leaks and causes a mess. I have wound up buying two small bottles and pouring the gallon jug into these smaller bottles and using them as I go.
