I wonder if any of the net readers sent me a
response to my item. Unfortunately there appears
to be a big problem about incomming mail at the
PSUVM node.
If any of you get to read this memo again will you
please post your reply on the net. Coz I cannot
get mail in.
The TUFOIL which I added to my 1980 Toyota Corolla
has begun showing results. My last tank of gas
(GULF NO-LEAD) showed a definite improvement of
about 10 % in local driving. I would however, still
hesitate to say it is because of the additive. I shall
post my final verdict when I get to it.
If any of you in net.land have used such additives
please post your experience in net.auto,net.misc.

I was "slickered" into trying Slick 50 by a very trustworthy Volvo mechanic (he had gotten over 20% gas mileage increase on his 64 Volvo). I put it in my 77 Chev 4wd PU. Result? Zero mileage increase. I was desperate for any help, as the beast gets only about 9-10mpg in normal (non-4wd) driving. The mechanic gave me my money back, though, so all was not lost. He said that he had talked lots of his customers into trying it after his own success, and inexplicably it worked for a small percentage of cars, but on the whole was a total failure.
