I'm not a big fan of additives. The only thing I ever found to be useful was when living back east in the winter, I would use dry gas to prevent frozen fuel line. Most additives just move dirt & sludge from one place to somepalce else, possibly a more harmful place. Put gasoline in the gas tank, good quality oil in the engine crankcase & forget the additives. Your car will thank you by living a long happy life.
