Aside from fuel system cleaners once and a while, I have run several and all have made no difference, although there is one additive I have been watching the test results for, it was designed or what ever by Pitsburg power and has been doing wondering in the highway tractor world and even thoes people that use it in there personal vehicles are saying they are getting amazing results. it was designed to help keep the system clean, sensors and all that stuff, but they have found there is a boost in gas milage also. when I find where I can buy it with out shipping from the US I am going to try that one.
