For those wondering, it's BG 44K fuel additive. It usually comes in two parts; one that is attached to the fuel rail to clean the injectors and the other is a can that you dump into the fuel tank. Usually sold as a service in the dealership, not normally sold over the counter. Good stuff. I've used it on and off over the years, mostly just the fuel tank additive. I've got a good friend that runs the service and parts departments of a local domestic dealership and he hooks me up when I need some.
So Ed, how much do you have?

So I thought I'd give everyone a quick update on BG 44K.
I put it into a 1/2 empty tank and filled the other half with 93 Octane Shell.
I ran the car until empty (NO, I don't wait to refill at 1/4 tank), and refilled it with Shell 93 Octane
I measured fuel economy on my regular commute (average using OBC) before and after:
BEFORE: 11.3 mpg
AFTER: 12.8 mpg
For all city stop/go driving I thought this was a noticeable improvement.
I am now a believer.
I have now put it into the BMW as well.

You can get it at NAPA and several other places here in CO. My 02 4S has had a few cans. I can easily get 34mpg on the highway. And 22 around town. Now if I get foot heavy that is a different story.
