Has anyone tried "Lucas Fuel Treatment" out with any success? The guy at Advanced told me it improved the gas mileage in his wife's car by 4mpg.

What is good for the goose may not work for the gander.
Some fuel tratments help keep varnish from building up but they are not injector cleaners or very seldom improve much on gas mileage.
Use a good brand of gas and keep the fuel and air filter and tune up serviced will help a lot more on gas mileage.
Most major brands of gas allready have all of the gas treatment in it that you need.

Mix 1.5 Oz. of 2-stroke synthetic oil to 2 ouces of pure acetone for every 10 gallons of gas your tank holds at fill-up time. Same effect, IMO. Other than that, the only thing that I have seen by my own eyes that works on a "Shock treatment" dose level is an SUV sized bottle of Techron. Throw a bottle of it into the tank 500 miles before your next oil change and it will really clean up. :)

Seafoam I found works best when applied twice in a row - first time should use half of the bottle. Use it on a hot, fully warmed up engine. Suck it up through the vacuum line removed from the PCV and then immediately shut off the engine and let it sit for about an hour. Reattach the line after an hour is up, start the engine, and run it around the block to kill the mosquitoes in your area. (They are not kidding when they say the fumes are extreme on the label. DO NOT do this in a garage) Once it clears up, park it, pop the line off again and apply the second half of the bottle. Repeat the rest time and then go take it for a cruise. Merge onto a highway at nearly wide open throttle and work the truck out good. It's gonna blow smoke and a good amount of crap out. Seafoam's a pretty strong and quick method, but I recommend changing the oil out ASAP. Half of the crud it blows out of the engine gets sucked up by your engine oil too. :P

Howdy I've actually been using Lucas fuel treatment for the past year now and have seen very good results. Last October I was getting a multi cylender misfire code and started useing lucas and haven't seen the code return.
