Lucas Fuel System Cleaner

[kromwell]

So a friend of mine recommended that I try out this Lucas Fuel System Cleaner. Aside from my 98 GSX, I have a 96 Civic CX hatch as my beater/back and forth to work/saving miles on my DSM car ()

I gave the fuel treatment on my civic, which BTW has about 180K miles on it right now. Before I tried the treatment, I was averaging around 27-29mpg. I thought that was really low for that car. So I went and bought the little bottle of that treatment at Advance Auto Parts for somewhere around $4-6. Once my gas tank was a little under a 1/4 tank left, I went to go fill up my tank. I put 1/2 the bottle in because the whole thing treats 25 gallons, then proceeded to fill up the tank.

This week for work, I had to drive to Dunkirk, NY from Little Falls, NY, where I live. I think it was about a 280 mile drive one way. Before I left at the end of the week, I added the other half of the bottle, then filled up my tank again. So by the time I get home, I should have been just about empty, which it normally has been... but I had about 3/8 of a tank left!!! So right off the bat I noticed a huge difference!

So I went and filled up my tank this morning after that drive there and back, and going through a full bottle of the Lucas Fuel Treatment, and averaged my gas mileage by taking the amount of miles I drove, divided by the gallons of gas I just put in my tank. The number I came up with, was 37.8mpg!!! I couldn't even believe it when I saw it, but that just went to prove this stuff works!!!

So now... I put it in my wife's Lancer and I'll be trying it out in my eclipse and see how it goes!!! I HIGHLY recommend this stuff if you want to try and increase your gas mileage!!!

It's thick stuff. When it goes on sale at work (usually 2 for $7 or so) I usually get two bottles, though I rarely ever use it. I should just go ahead and get the big bottle for $10. A coworker put it in his Neon and noticed a 5mpg increase in mileage.

Sounds like ok stuff.... Is it recommended for higher HP applications or just the DD stuff?

 

[MrBoxx]

I suppose either. If people come in with complaints of stumbling, hesitating, etc. I usually recommend the Lucas fuel system cleaner. Most people love it.

We sell ALOT of it advance, fixes alot of idle, misfire, emessions issues and all sorts of little things like that. The truckers buy it by the gallon all the time for the big trucks since diesel was changed by the gov't. It works great!

being that my civic only has around 110 hp... if I'm lucky... ... I always had to downshift up a lot of hills. After I went through the whole bottle of the treatment, I rarely have to downshift now! I'm pretty impressed, overall!
