Default Re-formulated Gas

Hello everyone.
Wanted to ask if anyone uses the following product in your car.

"Star Tron Gas Additive Fuel Treatment"

I use it in my boat, wave runner, lawn mowers, weed eater, trimmer and chain saw.

I have not tried it in my car or bike.



Any thoughts?

Zenski

Nope, I only use NOS additive in my cars. You can definitely feel the boost in performance once you add a bottle to the full tank. It is readily available at most gas stations too. You should definitely try NOS if you like Star Tron, you would be mind blown. I am attaching the product description and picture of the product.

NOS Energy, with its exclusive formula, is unsurpassed in cleaning the entire fuel system (fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers) in one tankful. Its use can maximize fuel economy, reduce emissions, improve internal lubrication of cylinders, and restore lost power, performance and acceleration.

I never add any gas. I'm on the original tank from Porsche. Same for the air in my tires. No substitutes! What the heck is that stuff supposed to do?

I don't add anything to my gas except octane juice to try to make up for the pathetic stuff they sell as "premium" in California.

Did the fish hook hurt when it went through your cheek? I'm relatively sure that Kalashnikov wasn't actually suggesting that dumping an energy drink into your tank would yield results, although I know of at least one motorcycle forum where this has been discussed extensively.

Someone needs to start a "Where do you put your gas additive?" thread...

You asked "Any thoughts?" on here. That's like asking a drunk guy to walk a straight line...

You are, and this one went over your head badly. Picture of High Performance Energy drink didn't trigger any second thoughts? And you are obviously unaware of the legendary NOS bike story.

There is NOS octane booster



or maybe not and he was just yanking your chain
