Re: TOY: Anybody willing to try this?

[Chuck <cgreco@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I just tanked up. Made 203.2 miles on this tank and the low fuel 
light was still off. Mileage calculated out to be 12.7 or a roughly 5% 
increase in economy over what I had been seeing. This tank I have 
increased the ration to 3oz. per 10 gallons (and yes, I adjusted the mix 
to compensate for the fuel still in the tank. I'll run this tank down 
and post new results.
