Default RS*R RAN-UP Sport Service Review

Hey Guys just wants to share my review on the new RSR Ran-up additive. I tried it in my car for the past 7 days and so far I am impressed with the little changes that I have seen which may increase also in more time...

So far I've seen: (1) Better gas mileage on 2 Tanks so far with same driving as normal 80% city 20 Highway
(2)Increase Throttle response *seems better along with feels smoother, and picks up quicker (that could be in my head lol)
(3) Increase Engine POWER

I'm on my third tank of gas right now and im driving more spirited so i'll see if anything changes, as well as I read that it cleans the injectors also so it might help carbon build up


If anyone else tried it please share your stories what you've had.

Other sites so far have giving the RS*R fluid great reviews. The only drawback... $50 a bottle

It won't help carbon build up... Nothing will work due to lack of port injection in the 4GR engine.

I'm skeptical, if this stuff works seems like an oil company would have already put this into their oil to improve all around performance.

Meth injection and a lot of hard driving works

I use the NOS brand fuel additive, and have the same exact results your describing. The NOS product just simply ups the octane of the fuel so not sure how different it is from this, as the NOS goes straight in the fuel tank. The NOS additive is only around $15 at O'reilly's, and I swear I never get as good as gas mileage as when I use it. Anyways, interested in the RSR stuff, wonder what it would feel like plus the NOS fuel additive.
