Thanks again everyone. Very valuable information. At this point it doesn't seem like I will get any better MPG worth spending any money on. I am going to go the synthetic route everywhere I can, Clean MAF, and do some type of fuel treatment with PEA every now and then. The main reason for fuel...

This may be the wrong place to ask this but can I just put a small amount of MMO in my oil without removing any oil? I have a 2004 Tacoma V6 approaching 100k miles. I don't think there is any problems with the truck but this product sounds like it may be good just for a maintenance. I am about...

Hello, Been Lurking on this forum for a while and decided to join in and get some valuable tips from you guys. Bad news is I am not very handy with a wrench and do not do my own oil changes and maintenance. My 2004 Tacoma is gladly paid for and would love to drive it for many many more years...
