At least he gets that mileage on regular, unlike me
That said, there's no reason NOT to go looking for a few extra tenths of an MPG or even more. Its all in good fun.
I didn't think it was too bad to be honest. In fact it gets better all around mileage than my moms 4 cylinder caliber. I'm not complaining.
Oh and I'm using premium. The premium fuel here contains no ethanol so even though I don't need the octane I prefer to run pure gasoline when possible.
The reason for starting this whole little test was because injured again asked about mmo,and posted some good results with it cleaning his miata. Then he tried mos2 based on my,and a few others experiences and fuel consumption decreases. Since he is intimate with the car he thought he'd be in a good position to evaluate the product.
Since the charger is new to me I thought it was a good idea to use the stuff after evaluating the vehicle and its consumption of fuel.
Since the car is new to me and never seen mos2 before I thought is was a perfect candidate. And I thought the thread would be informative to anyone doing a search on mos2. They would have previous consumption data,then my per tank mileage data all in one place,instead of hundreds of anecdotes stating various things.
This way my data is all right here,in 1 thread.
I'm going to ask brule to post in this one his data as well so we have more than just a single tester,and only my data.
2 testers in 1 thread.
Winning

Exactly where is i say it was bothering me. Did you even read the post or is this your way of getting your post count up m
Had you even bothered to pay attention you would know that Brule and I had decided to do a 3000 mile run in our vehicles to establish a baseline mpg.
Then we are going to run MOS2 to see if there was any fuel consumption benefit.
We are doing it to add to the forums experience database so if any member ever asks they can be directed to this,and a few other threads.
Had you bothered to even look before posting that valuable comment you'd have seen that brûle and I were infringing on a couple of threads with our baseline testing so I thought instead of polluting the threads that started this whole thing I'd just start a thread so the info could be focused into 1 thread.
I do thank you for your valuable input. I'll be sure to ignore any further input as its been proven you have nothing to add to the thread,so save yourself the effort and don't bother enlightening me with your helpful experience.

Yep. So I was dreaming when my chev truck gained 120kms per tank after adding it.
Or I was dreaming when my last hemi went from 14mpg to 17mpg with the only difference being MOS2.
I must have been asleep when my girls windstar gained 2 mpg using it as well.
I'll try to post with just my awake experiences,fair enough n
Maybe PM injured again,he can inform you of his fuel economy increase in his miata,that apparently aren't happening while he's awake.
For anyone who just wants to pollute my thread with absolutely nothing worth reading please save your effort. This thread is to keep track of my mileage with mos2 in the sump,and that being the only difference.
The car is new to me last month so I too will be learning as I acquire and post the data.
If you have nothing useful to add don't bother. I'll just ask the mods to delete your post. This threads only reason for existence is to keep track of my consumption after adding mos2.
If you don't believe in this stuff or whatever I don't care,nor am I interested in your comments.
If you have a discussable data point then please post. But if your going to try and push the absurdity of mos2 plugging an oil filter or destroying and engine then save the fairy tales for your kids bedtime story.
And for the naysayers save your negativity til the fuel consumption data to start getting posted.
Fair enough
