Thumbs up fp60 is amazing

I've been using it for a couple months now and it is saving me bigtime on gas. Whenever I used to make trips to chicago and back, the gas light would be on just as I got back or before even! Now I still have 1/4 tank left, I have consistently gotten upto a 4mpg increase. Not only that, but the car feels like it has a boost whenever I use it. I stopped for a tank and could feel a difference. With fp60, it feels like you're getting the best gas in town. I will be using it every fillup as long as I own the car.My record mpg is 42 now thanks to fp60, even with all my mods and running a rich a/f of 13:1.

I will be advertising this at every show and meet I goto as well. I'm that impressed.

Spark plugs are doing great, they're the oem double platinum. No unusual wear, I think this is the best fuel additive I've ever seen. It's fp60 from www.lubecontrol.com

i usually only get 5 gallons at a time, and you use 1 ounce for 5 gallons. Get the measuring bottle it makes it very easy. Just squirt some in after you get gas. I have a gallon of the stuff and will prolly order another soon. The best thing that matters more to me than gas mileage is how the engine sounds. When I accelerated slowly upto 3k rpms before, the engine would start making a harsh growl sound. Now it sounds super smooth like the car did with 80 miles on it.

i think the money you spend on this stuff you could be spending on the gas your
"saving". i think its a waste. but hey, its like this, you heard of z-max right? its like baby oil. thats about it. maybe this is the same. im not saying it wont work, i'm just saying its a little pricey.

z-max was a big scandal and turned out to be mineral oil that hurt the engine. The fp60 has been lab tested and endorsed by alot of big names. I only paid around $30 for a whole gallon, enough for treating well over 100 tanks of gas. That's the equivalent of filling the tank once at the gas station.

If I get 4mpg more (52 extra miles per tank), and drive all highway miles, I would save $30 for every 11 visits to the pump. Doesn't seem like much, but after 11 visits to the pump using 2.5 oz each time for a total of 27.5 ounces, the fp60 would have paid for itself. And I would still have more than 3/4 of the gallon left to use.

And I don't even care about that as much as I do having a clean engine that works like its new.

gearbox, how much mileage do you have on the vehicle?
do you think this product would benefit older vehicles because they had have a longer run in there lifetime to build up that nasty carbon? im at 25k miles and another vehicle at 15k... idk if i should still buy it since its still "new"? =\

my civic gets 300-+ per tank sadly...

SO does mine, and that is mostly highway miles. When I fill up, I average out to 29-30 MPG. Its pathetic. I cant complain though, most of my friends at school get about 10-15 MPG on the freeway.

Well my car has 40k miles, but at 20k there was tons of carbon buildup mostly on the pistons even tho I used techron regularly. Didn't do anything looks like.

As for your lower mileage, they say cars don't tend to break in fully until after 20k, so maybe thats why. I actually used to get no more than around 30-32 max all highway a year ago.

once you put more miles on the car, mpg should go up. Its really strange how mine is so good now especially with pnp head and rich a/f among other things. But i guess it varies. I get it going 65mph the whole way without much stopping.

i don't get it. i bought my vic the first of march, with 56k on it, 01 ex 5sp. i get 40 mpg in the city, and like 41-42 on the highway, i have tested this over and over. i don't get why you are not getting the same mileage? gearbox, how is your mpg? i get 300 per tank when i run it hard and redline sometimes, but if your not running it hard have you checked to see whats up? cause it could be your plugs, tires, fuel you use, additives you add, oil, and driving habits. i am very curious. it could even be your mods if you have any.

I got 45mpg last weekend. All highway, cruise set at 70 the whole time, minimal traffic. No additives, no mods, just incredibly calm driving. I guess the little D17 can do something right. I plan on ordering some FP60 to see if I can make a run for 50MPG HWY
