Thumbs up Lousy Gas Mileage

I dumped 9 0z. Lucas in a full tank and purchased a can of Sea Foam Spray. I followed the label directions exactly as is stated. Before the treatment I was getting an average 19 mpg in town and 22 highway. Now I am getting an estimated (Calculated on gals./mileage) of 25 mpg in town and 32 highway. On the last fill-up, I have driven about 60 mi. and the gas gauge barely moved. Before, 60 mi. would easily use up 1/2 tank. Will keep you posted as to further effectiveness of product use.

I am in Denton, 35 mi. north of Dallas. Sorry, but my information was in error. One of those temporary short curcuits.

No way. Half a tank to 60 miles is less than 10 mpg.

E85 is "special" most have to look hard for it. E10 is "normal" depending on the EPA requirements in any given area. So, I don't get having to seek out E10 gas.

I'm more confused now than when this thread started. FBR_User, please help us out here, are you using E-10 or E-85? And if you are using E-85, is it E10 you're looking for?

Obviously a troll !!

Became apparent, at least to me, after recognizing all the "mistakes" he made in the 2 threads that he posted and members challenging/questioning his statements/mistakes.
