My latest mixology of leftovers yielded and interesting and a slightly unexpected result. I have used MMO with great results: - usually stick to 4oz/10gal rate, as higher dosage sometimes decreases fuel economy or causes sluggish acceleration. I have also used Berryman B12 for preventive maintenance, but in the past it definitely helped with bringing a few engines (and even transmissions) back to life.
Here is the reason for this thread though: I had a 7/8 full bottle of MMO and a full can of B12 in the trunk. Curiosity got the best of me, so I mixed the two and poured it in my gas tank before filling up with 14 gallons of 89. (I got reasons to use 89, even though the car can run on 87. Simply put: A LOT less downshifting is required to conquer the uphills in my daily commute.) I knew that B12 is a good cleaner and MMO is a good cleaner and lubricant, so mixed and poured both in without a second thought.
RESULTS: There is definitely a bit more pep, which has never happened when either of the additives was used on it's own in this vehicle. But the mix of two somehow acted as go-juice. Don't know how, so if you got any ideas/theories - please share. It is very noticeable throughout this tank of gas. I'm nearly empty and dying to see if performance stays or disappears once the tank gets nothing but full capacity of 89 tomorrow. Also the engine RPMs don't vibrate the car at idle as much. Overall pretty impressed and honestly surprised with the results for less than $7 in additives.
Vehicle is a 2000 Honda CR-V, 2.0L, 5-speed manual, and AWD. It came with 146hp at crank from factory, Many dynos of similarly equipped vehicles show 110-120whp with stock tire size. I got upsized A/T tires and a small 1.5" leveling kit installed from HRG Engineering, So every horsepower gained or lost is VEEEERY noticeable. How noticeable? Well turning the A/C off is comparable to a 25 NOS shot
Anyone else had any success with the interesting additive experiments? Now is your time to shine. It is an additive sub-forum after-all.
