I'm a new member and this is my first post to the board. I drive a 2003 Toyota ECHO, new on Dec-28-2002, with about 3500kms on it so far.
I just picked up some 131C SOY Fuel Additive and some 131 Neutra tonight, shipped from the Schaeffer rep in BC, via the Loomis shipping depot in Brampton. I proceeded to add about 1/2 a bottle of 131C to the gas tank, and then I filled it up with fuel (the ECHO holds about 45 litres of gas or about 11 US gallons).
Was the effect ever noticable! The car got really smooth and quiet, and the 4-cylinder jitter was mostly gone; it was like I switched the little 1.5 litre engine for a 6-cylinder one. This effect held true for idle, acceleration, and highway driving - the engine was significantly quieter all way around.
So when Schaeffer's says "better than new" performance for the 131C, I'd guess that they're probably right. I have no idea what the fuel economy will be like with this stuff, but I sure do like the way the car runs!
Now all I have to do is figure out an appropriate maintenance dose, since I plan to add it at each fillup. It will be interesting to contrast the effects of the 131C SOY versus the 131 Neutra to see how similar they are to each other. The 131C costs about twice as much, but perhaps I will be able to use about half of it as compared to the 131, for a similar effect.
Anyway, I thought some of you might be interested in hearing about this.
