well i am not going to drink it, or play with it, all i know is my 88 spfi wagon is running better, as far as oil companys supporting it ,right they want you to get 15-16 mpg all the time ,keeps there pocket full, you show me the proof that it does not work ?, this topic is just like brands of oil [ all oil is the same according to some people] -

well i went ahead and tried 3oz in about 12 gal gas , surely 1 time would not hurt it , i put it into a 88 spfi 5sp dual range wagon with 189,000mi , the other board member swears by it , so i will post my results in a week or so -
