Gas MPG improvement: fuel injector cleaner rocks!

that might be true..
but if you only want to try it out....and kinda pessimistic about this....then i think you should go with STP...cos' it won't hurt ur feeling if it's not working... =)
I filled up on wednesday and drove to school last night, (~45 mi each way) and then to a job interview today, (~45 mi each way) and this is what I have now. Wow I LOVE my HX!!
dude, that is awesome.
but that' not a Stop-N'-Go driving...
my car stop and go for more than 30 times....
meaning, more than 30 times to start the engine....turn off, start again..
i also drive short distance, that is 2 miles go.....stop, 2 miles back.....stop...
so, consider mine's a city stop and go car....
i think im gonna get good mileage too if i drive directly 45 miles go and 45 miles home...

I used to get at least 215 miles right when hitting the halfway mark. Of course, it was about 65% highway and 35% city, but still, I thought that was pretty good. Now I'm only getting around 25mpg or 175 miles to the halfway point. I think I need to change my air filter though... I went back to stock and the filter that I have in there has about 5-6K miles worth. Putting some of that fuel injector wouldn't hurt, either... I'll try it out, too.

don't tell me that peoples who brag around about their high gas mileage are actually driving like you? 65% highway?
man....i drive 35% highway......65% city with stop and go style...
so i think i should be happy with 190 on the middle...
i gained about 50 more miles on 10 gallons after switching to synthetic blend oil and to shell gas.
my buddy switched to shell gas with his 97 accord ex and he also gained about 50 more miles on 10 gallons.
