Cool. Which additive did you use and how did you modify your driving?

That's just lame. Product names are mentioned all the time. Nobody assumes that they are sponsored.

Seaform, Mobil1, Royal Purple, Meguiar's, etc. The list of brands goes on an on.

Are you mixing in octane booster type additives, or cleaners? If you're going to start a discussion, then at least bring more to the table.

Wee Yari, don't forget our ever-effective Canadian product, MolySlip. I have been using it for nearly 40 years now, and have many stories about its effectiveness at reducing friction/increasing mileage in various engines, not the least of which is my Yaris.

Clearly, it is molybdenum-based, but I don't know of any US product using that material.
