How to Quickly Improve Gas Mileage and Fuel Efficiency with Fuel Additives

What really works? Well first you should drive the smallest car or vehicle possible and remove any unnecessary weight. Then you can use what is called a fuel additive or octane booster to gain fuel economy and power at the same time. These fuel additives will have more effect on older cars and trucks as they will clean deposits on valves, valve stems, pistons, etc… resulting in a much cleaner and more efficient running engine.

Manytimes a car suffers from poor performance and fuel economy due to residue buildup which can block valves from completely closing and lead to the engine running too lean or too rich. It can also clog injectors. Some fuel additives are actually called or labeled as “Guaranteed to Pass.” As they come with a written guarantee that your car will pass your state’s emissions inspection test after adding the additive to the gas and running it through a full tank full.

I have personally used such a fuel additive on a car that failed emissions in NC with a high CO and CO2 ratio. After adding the additive and following the instructions (the car actually had a little smoke coming out the exhaust during this – according to a local mechanic this is normal as it is dissolving and cleaning the carbon deposits which make a car run less efficient). The car then passed the emissions test easily after it was filled with a new tank of gas minus the additive.

So, fuel additives do work to make your car run cleaner and better and will clean a dirty engine (within limits I’m sure). But did you know that they will also increase the octane rating of your gas, increase gas mileage and increase performance? Yes. They can take your lowest octane gas and make it run like the highest octane or super premium or better and for less money.

Just think about it, it all depends on where you are in the country and what your current gas prices are, but there is usually a difference now of $.30 to over $.60 per gallon between regular unleaded and the highest premium octane at the same pump. Now multiply that by how many gallons it takes to fill up your tank. That’s a difference of $4.50 to over $9.00 if it only takes 15 gallons for a fill up. A fuel additive only costs from $1 (Walmart generic brand) to a maximum of around $4 or so (national name brands). And you only need 1 bottle of fuel additive per gallon (be sure to read the labels and also use Google to research them as some are better and more effective than others).

So, it wouldn’t hurt to use a fuel additive to promote a cleaner and more efficient engine and get better gas mileage. Be sure, however to check your vehicles owners manual and the directions on the fuel additive to make sure this is okay for your engine and that it will not void any warranties. It also wouldn’t hurt to ask your local mechanic or auto technician for their advice on fuel additives for your specific car or truck and which one they recommend.
