Right on. It's cheaper than I thought, too. I got a 32 ouncer for $10. At 3-4 oz./tank that's only $1 a dose or so.

I realize it's too soon but I wanted to bump up the thread. After 1st fill...no difference but didn't expect it. My 2d fill will be in a few days but can't really predict what I'll get just yet. I've just been trying to maintain a solid conservative driving style each time to keep some consistency. We'll see...I'm still optimistic.

It took me three tanks to notice the difference but I kept on. It's been at least a year and a half now and I know the ECHO was consistently getting about 2 mpg more. I am not sure about the Yaris because I started using it right away.

Even two would be ok just to say I've been hitting 40 mpg regularly.
