Additives - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hello! Pardon me if this has been covered elsewhere in this forum.
Just passing my experience along.
After seeing this product displayed at a Toyota dealer's parts department,
I decided to try a Lucas fuel additive.
Having used the Lucas fuel additive in an ECHO for approximately a year and a half, there has been a 2-4 mpg increase, after the third tank. A friend is using it in his Mercury Marquis and gets 2 mpg more.
Also, the ECHO's automatic was shifting harder 15,000 miles after new transmission fluid. With the Lucas transmission additive it shifted smoother right away.
These products were purchased at Baxter Auto Parts and were cheaper than at the Toyota dealer. The gas additive is about $12 for 26 oz. which is good for about 8 tanks at 3-4 oz per fillup. It has more than paid for itself.
I'll be using them in the Yaris.
Here is the Lucas product link: http://www.lucasoil.com/products/
Is anyone else using fuel saving additives?
