Yeah boy! That stuff is so good it magically turns the odometer back to zero. It probably doubled the wattage of your car's amplifier too.

I have used both the Lucas Fuel System Cleaner and the Upper Cylinder Lubricant/ Injector Cleaner ( clear bottoe green cap). I love it ! Makes my car feel like a V8 and gets rid of that lag the car sort of gets stuck on after you been driving in the same mode on a daily basis.
I fill up my tank once a week , I try to use it every 3-4 weeks. Its great but man does it eat up your gas ! Lol. I have read some threads on the forum that our cars do not need it but I think its helpful and it doesn't hurt the car so why not?

If you notice a big difference in the way your car drives after a oil change, transmission change, spark plug change or adding a fuel system cleaner then it normally means you are putting too many miles between maintenance, something is wrong, your gas is really dirty, poor fluids. If your car is properly maintained and you are using good fluids/gas you should notice no real difference in the way the car drives after routine maintenance.

I use Redline fuel system cleaner every couple years and can't say I notice much if any difference in the way the car drives which is a good sign, my mileage seems to improve just very slightly. It is generally considered the best fuel system cleaner on the market.

The placebo effect is another legitimate possibility, which cannot be dismissed without a proper double-blind study.

I've used this product many times before

2008 Honda Accord - first use at ~160k miles - Immediate difference in how it ran (bare minimum maintenance since it was new, seemed to burn quite a bit of oil)
2010 Acura TL - first use at ~100k miles - Immediate difference - very smooth and lot better acceleration (Bought used with I want to say 80k miles, only Shell/Costco premium fuel used in this car since I got it)
2014 Lexus GS - first use at ~50k miles - no difference... Been using maybe every 20k miles or so and never can tell a difference (bought used with 32k miles, currently at 105k miles... Maintenance by the book at Lexus dealers

Changed my oil today on my GS. I mixed some CBD oil with the Mobil 1 and gained an instant 100 HP. The strange thing though is that the car wanders all over the road now.

I was wrong on my previous post. Found out that the CBD oil had THC in it and I lost a 100 HP!
