i recently used 10 gallons of gas for a roundtrip 380 mile trip in my 2008 Dodge Caliber, 2.0L 4 cyl. the car was great, the gas mileage wonderful i must say!! i hadnt run my car at any long distance trip since i bought it in 2009, has only 22k miles on it. car had been using alot of fuel for city driving lately. I added 6 oz Lucas before my fuel up and can report that the car enjoyed the ride.....I wonder if the Lucas did indeed help? most Caliber owners report 30mpg or less on highway......
 
One fill up is not statistically significant. Variations in pump shut off, temperature, fuel density, wind direction on your trip, etc. can all affect economy and need to be averaged out over several fill ups to accurately measure economy. Your result is encouraging, but not definitive...
 
Hard to say if its good or badone thing is sure ,there is one corporation that make a real product(who knows if its good)that sue those for basicly scamming in various ways .slick 50 among the pile of brand that got sued by said corp.ya the list of sued is longlubricity in gas or diesel as become a very real problem in the last decade.and ethanol and biodiesel didnt help either ,now seasonal vehicule (motorcycle)have to be emptied of gas to preven film build up.so yes those product are needed ,but a lot dont do what user want so more r&d might be needed by normal user to know what does and does not work
 
Light sweet oil in fuel will condense lighter fraction droplets to larger mass/volume - which is not good for efficiency. At which % and ?? ISO grade/DNA is this problematic? IDK.
 
Wow.
