Hooray! AT refunded me the entire amount paid ($67.75 total for cert fees and install). Since my tire damage happened just a week over their 30-day unlimited replacement period, they honored it. I decided against the "Protect Your Purchase" certificates, so everything was refunded. Very pleasant...

Yes, feeling a little ripped off. I think they were being deceptive because there was no mention of their free prorated road hazard warranty. I thought I was liable for the total cost of the replacement tire, so when they dangled the cert deal in front of me, I bit.

The certs totaled $47.50. The tires were $70 each when I purchased them.

I bought tires from AT last month, but didn't buy the "Protect Your Purchase" certificates. Anyhow, today I picked up a nail in one tire. AT claimed it was unrepairable and would have to be replaced. Instead of actually paying for another tire, they said I could just buy the certificates now -...

Here in L.A. it's crazy. Most gas stations around L.A. are pushing near the $4 mark. A station in West Covina has the dubious distinction of having the highest price in the nation, $4.69 for regular. Prius drivers are smugly smiling now! Me? I'm communing with my beautiful, mellow cat named...

...Then again, maybe there's a reason it's at Big Lots.

Well a 2 ounce dose is certainly more economical. Less is more? Maybe the folks at MMO are just trying to sell more product?

I know this is an old thread, but I recently saw pair of Cibie 35's, just like the ones in the picture I posted. They were on a neat little 240Z. What a refreshing site to see! Yeah, I'm old school.

I know that 4 ounces is recommended, but is it really necessary? Could 2-oz per 10-gal of gas be just as effective? What do you guys use on a regular basis?

Out of all the Wallys in my area, only one has tires/service. As others have said, their prices suck. No "Great Value" there.

Coincidentally, I bought two Riken Raptor HR tires from them this past Monday. I mentioned that Discount Tire Center's price was cheaper, so they beat their price by $5/tire. I ended up getting the Rikens (205/60 15) for $47/each - total out-the-door $141.60. The service was completed within 40...

To me, it makes more sense to put your goodies into the tank first, then pump the gas in to mix it up. Also, I have a small long-neck Lucas bottle that comes in handy for adding additives. It's clear plastic, so I've marked it off in ounce increments. The long-neck is easy to stick into my car's...

Hmmm... truck stop? I might try that. I'm looking to pickup a gallon for around $20. Is that possible?

I've tried SI-1, MMO and TCW3. My older car just runs better with the Lucas, using only an ounce per 5 gals gas. When I used SI-1, the Check Engine Light lit up for 4 days.

Well, I've started using Lucas again. The 32oz bottle is $9.67 at Walmart. The gallon is $30 at Autozone. Any cheaper prices out there? I live in L.A.

I think most "Octane Boosters" are a ripoff. Have you seen claims such as, "SuperDuper will increase octane by 6 points"? Well, they consider a "point" to be one tenth of a whole number. So, if you're using 87-octane gas, the booster will only make it 87.6!

Here's something interesting. I checked the Altima owners manuals for different years, and these are the oil capacities (w/ filter) I found: 1996 - 1997... 4 qts. 1998.......... 4 1/4 qts. 1999 - 2001... 3 5/8 qts. As far as I know, the Altima engines were identical for these years, but the...

Yes, the FTC went after a bunch of the oil additives - DuraLube, Slick 50 and Prolong were among them. I guess these companies were overstating their advertising claims, which is typical of any marketing scheme - but it doesn't mean the products are totally worthless. (Well, sometimes they...

If you ever wanted to try this stuff, I guess a buck fifty isn't too much to ask.

I don't think the cost of this mixture is too much at all. He's using such small amounts of the acetone, xylene and oil. I figure it's less than 20-cents per 10 gallons of gas. Of course, there's a big YMMV with this sort of thing.
