are fuel system cleaners, and engine addatives good or do more harm to your car? I‘ve used both the engine oil addative seemed to make may car accelerate slower and feel kinda boggy?
fuel system and injector cleaners are ok if it's done with some regularity, same thing with engine additives, if the car hasn't had that done regularly it may be such a thing that when you put these additives in it is breaking loose alot of miles worth of sludge and crud which can hold true for both fuel systems and engine oils I sure if it started doing it right after adding it it may well work its way out of it.
Reducing Gas Prices We can reduce gas prices, and in many cases reduce our expenses in other areas, by reducing the demand for petroleum products. How do we reduce demand? Easy. Reduce consumption. Here are some suggestions on how to do that: 1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires reduce gas mileage. Most tires should be inflated to 32-35 psi, but look on your tires for specific numbers. 2. Make sure your engine is properly tuned. An out of tune engine wastes gas and money. Have it checked. 3. When you stop at a stop light, stay stopped until the light is green. Don’t try to ease up a little at a time – this not only wastes gas, but wears out your brakes sooner than normal. 4. Accelerate slowly. Rapid acceleration (“jack rabbit starts”) wastes gas. 5. Use synthetic oil whenever you change or have your oil changed. Since it’s synthetic, you are not using a petroleum product therefore you are reducing demand. Most cars actually get better gas mileage with synthetic oil, so it’s a win win. 6. Whenever possible, use alternative fuels such as biodiesel or E85. They not only reduce petroleum consumption, but they are cheaper and better for the environment. Unfortunately, they are not widely available yet in most places, but start asking about them when you buy gas and fuel distributors will begin to get the message; if they think there is a market, they will supply that market. 7. Don’t rush out to buy a new car… but if you are in the market for one anyway, consider buying a more fuel efficient car or even a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are more expensive but you can get a federal tax credit which will offset much of the extra expense and if you do a lot of driving, the money you save on gas will offset the rest. 8. Carpool.
some of the fuel additives are pretty good to use,,but some do no good at all,,i own a repair shop,,and have tried a lot of them,,i cant see any difference in the cheaper ones at all,,and a lot of people make a mistake and add to much to there car,at once,,this will make it bog down a lot the best time to add any of the additives are when you got a half of tank of gas,,this assures that your not going to drug your car to death,, i know it sounds funny but you can add to much,good luck,i hope this help,s
