Fuel additives?
Do you guys use them? Or do you think it's just a waste of money?
I've been messing with a few here and there, but not sure if they're actually worth it.
From what I've read/seen the performance boosters don't work and if anything reduce power, but how 'bout those cleaners?
Most studies have shown that they are bullshit. Some may add a little but its nothing significant. You might as well save your money and buy better gas.
As for cleaners...yea they work. If you got the right stuff.

I wouldn't trust any of that shit.
I've been using the STP cleaners every now and then, but yeah the straight additives have been proven to even reduce power.
I also hear those octane boosters can fuck up your plugs.
Sometimes its not that the additive is bad but more of its not enough to change in a positive way on what the car is tuned on from the factory/modded.
The only cleaner I really use is the Lucas brand.
I've used Stabil ethanol treatment, it's for marine engines and got 3 more MPG consistently, as far as cleaners go I use sea foam in the gas. I've never tried octane booster.
