LubeControl LC20 and FP60

After reading up on different things to keep my car running like new I decided to buy 1 gallon each of LC20 and FP60. Today I did an oil change with Mobil 1 and added 8 oz of LC20. I also added 4 oz FP60 to a full tank of gas. After driving about 50 miles my engine is already running WAY smoother then it was before. It also feels like it moves through the RPM range easier. Im hoping to see my gas meilage go up but if not I will still use both because I can already tell that it is helping. Oh ya and im going to be switching back to dino oil since im now using LC20. I just had 4 quarts of M1 left. Im planning on running some LC20 and FP60 through my dads 89 toyota pickup with 130k on it because its not running as well as it could. I may pull the valve cover off and take some before and after pics. That should be a really good test for it. These products are REALLY worth the money!

Cliff Notes: LC20 and FP60 =

HAHA not as far as I know , but he was one of the reasons I tried it. It cost $79 shipped for the 2 gallons and 2 measuring bottles. This site was another reason http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?

i also get rather sh!ttay gas mileage......
last few tanks i recorded was during summerish weather and got 26mpg then 29mpg then 24.5mpg........... its all city driving with tons of stop and go. we gotta remember here that its a huge difference if one guy claims city driving and hes going through busy cities like boston (me) and another guy claims city driving while cruising through the burbs with no stop signs or lights for a long time.

Its Savannah, GA, I will say when I went to ATL, I got really shitty mileage. I was doing 80mph, (bout 3000 rpm's) and on the way back I got better mileage doing 100+ mph. Go figure.
