what i really don't get is these magical deposits  that rob performance that build up round the intake valves and fuel injectors.

intake ports of cyl heads rarely look sh!tty unless they are diesel or tfsi motors and if they are diesel or tfsi how the hell is fuel soposed to clean them when it's injected directly to the combustion chamber.

if it dosent contain nitromethane thats crap and false advertiseing.



They reckon cylinders and exhaust valves though.

Most definitely horse proverbial though.

Do seem to get better MPG and response though.

I brimmed mine yesterday morning, it was early, and just above freezing, but I noticed a nearly immediate difference, response seems quicker.
Haven't done enough miles to comment about the mpg, but i'll see what its like at the end of the week.
But my car is stage 2'd, and set up for premium fuel

45.9 average on the way to Alton towers in a 1.4 16v Clio loaded to the brim with 5 people. Does make a good difference IMO but as said nothing over the old V Power I can see.

Got 55mpg on a 210 mile avg speed 68 mph. That is up by about 2/3 mpg on that journey normally. Lovely and smooth. Think it made a difference...

Deffo worth it on a long trip! Saved about £4.56 in difference in MPG over the tank full and just better running.

Shame it blew a shock so I had no rear right hand damping all the way home but hey.

I had aircon on minimum the whole time as the gf is ice cold blooded.

Reckon I could get 54 on the gauge with just me on V Power.

Air con? I wish my mk4 gti had air con, it was standard after 2000 but the first owner was a cheap skate and opted for sunroof   :grin:
