Cool POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG

Need input from anyone that has used Lucas Oil Fuel Treatment & Fuel Injector Cleaner in their H2. I've heard from both engineers and race enthusiats that consistent use of this product will improve MPG by 2 -3 MPG and that you will notice the increase after the 2nd treatment. I'm in the process of trying this and have put one treatment in and have ordered a case (4 gallons) to see if these claims have any validity. Please share your knowledge/experience with this product if you have used it. Thanks!

What does each container cost, how much fuel does it treat, and how often do you need to use it?

did you hear this improvement was an increase for the H2?

See, there are dynamics with the H2 that stuff like this simply are not going to overcome. Namely weight and aero. You have a big heavy brick moving through the air. It's not going to get good mileage, period.

But I'll be damned if it doesn't do pretty good off-road.

No. I have not heard any comments prior to this thread concerning anyone using the lucas fuel injector cleaner in an h2. I'm trying it out and I'll post my results when finished.

I value your opinion and thank you for responding.

Pure snake oil. Now get two hot chicks to rub themselves down with said snake oil and I'd be interested.

Hello all I have contacted the Admin of this site to become a supporting vendor . I own TuneTimePerformance.com we sell PCM Flash for all 3 Hummers with the H2 we have recorded 2 mpg increase around town and with cruise set to 65mph [ It's so hard to do .LOL. ] we have extended the range by 75miles . Our tunes are undetectable by the Dealer and are available Live from 2 locations NJ and Dallas TX or we can do it by mail. There is also a gain in HP even on 87 oct. 20-23hp and 28-30tq . I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the board I have taken the appropriate actions to become a supporting vendor. Retail is $495 and at 2 mpg it will pay for it self within a year if you go 12k .

BTW I'm not trying to hyjack your thread.

Mr. Lucas is the only one getting a good deal when you buy that stuff. I bet he laughs all the way to the pump!

Snake oil...besides modern injectors don't get dirty in one fuel fill, they take thousands of miles. Run a bottle of Techron through the system every 5K, it will keep the injectors clean, top of the pistons clean, but unless you have really clogged injectors, and/or your top engine is crusty, it will not increase your fuel mileage.

ludicrist: "BTW I'm not trying to hyjack your thread." Really??? Strange statement for someone who placed an Ad in another person's thread.

Thanks for your reply. Since I'm trying to gather information based upon actual useage please advise if your comment is based upon you actually using this product in an h2, or is your comment based upon something else (i.e. engineering background, etc). Thanks for your input.
