Yea, Try to explain that one... Also, I know a direct straight path of intake air is great and all but, I was under the impression that a little bit of air turbulence helps to mix the A/F a bit going into the intake....

If I still had a warranty I'd try it. My motor looks like a son of a bitch to replace so I'd rather not.

I get 12/20mpg so I could use a boost. :l

I tried this before a long time ago. We were packing to move and I had about 1/6 of a gallon left. My girlfriends mom was getting rid of her Sunfire so I dumped the rest in it to see if it would screw with anything. Nothing fucked up and it ran pretty damn good. I tried a safe about 1oz for a tank in my Civic and didn't notice any gain at all. Most of my mileage was city driving so it was pretty hard to get any real numbers.

Seems to be working. I definetly saw an increase in my girlfriends MX3. Still hard to tell with all the stop and go traffic. Today I'll be doing a 500km trip past Toronto and back to pick up some wheels so we'll see what happens.
