POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG

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.

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.

I'll base it upon engineering input. GM, as well as every other manufacturer tests almost all of these aftermarket additives, and so far, very few will show any noticeable increase in HP or fuel mileage.
The oil I'm not sure of, it could make the existing oil slicker, cutting down on friction; however, the modern engine is designed to have as little friction as necessary to increase HP and fuel mileage.

However, the fuel injector cleaner, that they want you to run in each tankful is ludicrous. Read my previous post, fuel is not that dirty, injectors are designed to not crust over from spray back of fuel as they did years ago. So, why would you have to run it all the time. In addition, if you want to keep the injectors clean, run one of the Top-Tier fuels in the tank, and these Top-Tier fuel companies use larger than required amounts of cleaning additives in their fuel, so the chance of an injector clogging is almost impossible.
The Top-Tier fuel requirements are set by GM, Honda, BMW and two more companies, and include Shell, Chevron, Conoco, and quite a few other companies.

It's your money, and if you feel like doing it, do it. Keeps the economy running.

The only way these additive products will show any improvement is if there is a problem with contaminants in the fuel system . I recently purchased a can of MAF cleaner from CRC right on the can it claims 6-10 hp from this is it a gain no but you may have lost it from the OIL on the K&N getting on the MAF . [ you guys that are running K&N or any oiled filter should be cleaning the MAF every 10-12k a dirty MAF can cause erratic shifting and reduce performance.] See I'm not hijacking the thread you guys are looking for better MPG and I'm telling you how you can actually get it . I only tune about 25 GM products a week and 50% get a Fuel economy tune with a slight bump in HP .

This technique was posted on a previous thread... but it works! If you're wanting to get outstanding MPG everyday, you have to try the EGG technique. Stick the EGG under the gas pedal, and drive. Now, if you break the EGG, you're pushing your truck to much. Easy does it on the pedal, know your pressure on the EGG, and you'll save lots of $. Try it today.

The egg keeps rolling out from under the gas pedal and back under my seat. Does the egg method involve use of duct tape to keep it in place?

Does the egg have to be raw, hard boiled, or cooked over easy?
