The problem with this is not only is there no way to support his argument, he got some things dead WRONG. For example:

plus he said, only the really big gas peeps put cleaners in their gas, such as BP, shell, Chevron, Exxon, and even they do not put it in all grades of their gas. So if you are buying gas at Bud's truck and beer stop, it proly does not have cleaners/detergents in it.
Federal law requires certain levels of detergent in gasoline. Fuel fom "Bud's truck and beer stop" comes from the same refiners and distributors as the fuel from the major brands. May have a different detergent pack, but it's the same stuff.

Again, it adds lubricity and removes moisture, from you various systems, even the exaust system.
this is good , as i noticed, several drops of not only water, from using this on both my cars, but noticed a bit of goo coming from the 4runner pipe.
Water is a byproduct of the internal combustion cycle. ALL gasoline powered vehicles can have a little water dripping out the tailpipe. "goo" can also happen when the water mixes with some other junk in the exhaust pipe on it's way out.

the stuff that it breaks up and loosens up,
should not damage your system anyway, it should get filtered out, your pistons, and stuff will continue to smash this stuff up, and is stronger than the junk.
Uuuh huh. Need I really say anything?

This car is fast, and has allways been fast, but it was never what I considered quick, it was okay, but nothing special. Once it got up a little momentum, then it would giddyup.
Now, today, several times, I hit it up, at a stop light, or sign, or if i was allready on the highway, would hit the accelerator, as I was allready doing highway speeds. What throttle response!!!! WOW!!!! Not guessing, not thinking, but my A#$ss-ometer could easily tell, that as soon as my foot hit the pedal, my car would bow it's back up , like a wet cat, and take off, lickety
split, i mean the acceleration came quick , and easy folks, as soon as I hit
the pedal. And this car weighs a good 55oo lbs, not including all the wieight of all the [censored] i carry around in it.
A Caprice does NOT weigh 5,500 lbs.
His entire post was strictly hearsay and anecdotal.
The idea that an "expert", who is hardly unbiased, told him over the phone that it cures all and can never hurt anything hardly proves anything.
