it's not something we measure, they are both old cars owned from new and basically kept as cheap motoring at our place abroad
they presumably became a bit better at burning petrol and possibly more efficient, possibly not
they handled as if they were 10 yrs younger, better acceleration, cleaner action in responsiveness, they didn't smell of horrible fumes as much

This stuff always makes me laugh with such melancholy. Me and my mate had just got into motorbikes and sucked down all the nonsense about stuff that makes them go faster and Redex came up and we got some and I was pouring it into my petrol tank and shooting it into the carburetor with a syringe while wailing on the throttle with it on the stand in my garden and my neighbour (who was probably in his 50s but we thought over 100 at the time because we were teeners) came screeching out of his house at pensioner pace swinging a spatula (that's fish slice to you weirdos) saying I was making his house like a 'gas chamber'. I'm genuinely crying with laughter over it now but actually feel bad because we were kids and thought everyone else was wrong about everything.
Suzuki A-100 if you need to know, and it was amazing. Bought it for £27 because it wasn't working and had sat in a shed for years and basically had a gunked up carb. A quick poke with a bit of wire through all the inlets and a jiggle of the venturi and the guy who sold it to me looked sick as a pig. Rahhhh!!

In the case of petrol cars.. doesn't this stuff essentially increase the octane rating of fuel to give the potential benefits? And therefore wouldn't using super/premium unleaded do the same job? Which you could get from Sainsbury's or Tesco for 5p/l additional cost making it roughly the same (normal full) price as this? Based upon a 45 litre tank it would be an extra £2.25 a tank.
I'm curious is anyone can tell me the difference between using this type of product now and then vs using premium fuel all the time and using both together. I've read that most premium fuels require usage of at least 4000-6000 miles on a petrol car before any real 'cleaning' occurs and before any potential mpg improvements would be made.
