I'm done. After my 5th fillup I'm not seeing any real results and I'm tired of driving like Grandma. It was worth the effort though just to see. Now I can relax and drive the way I want. As I said in my other post...there are just too many stops to allow me to do any better.

I don't get it I am using it, on third tank, 128 mi round trip daily and my milage has gone up by 3.5 mpg. using scan gauge, filling up at same pump. Maybe because it is 95% highway?

That's good news, especially if your Yaris has a motor like the one pictured!

Well this is interesting news.....I'm still using up my big bottle of UCL but this fill I drove like I want. I got on it. I drove at 60-70 mph. Took off fast....wound out the revs to like 3500-4000 rpm or so...and just enjoyed my Yaris and guess what.....I still got over 37 mpg I expected more like 34-35. For a difference of about 30 mi. per tank it ain't worth it to drive like Grandma for me. I can usually get near two weeks from a fillup anyway so what the heck, right? Spock out.

I use just the well known ZX1 & never had a problem...

I use Lucas Upper Cylinder Lube in my car. I typically put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in my tank after an oil change. I am wondering is this is a little redundant or basically unneccessary.

Probably so, but I can't imagine it will hurt anything.

as for MPG I;m getting around 25MPG

So you buy a product to hide the engine's ping problem? Not very smart. Why not take it in to get fixed? Our Yarii should not be pinging on 87 octane regular. My 2007 Yari HB with 51,000 miles has never pinged.

As to Lucas UCL, I noticed a 7% increase in MPG when used in every tank. The savings in gas more then pays for this product, and it keeps the combustion chamber clean.

Maybe a safer, richer tune would solve the pinging problem.
