There's Lucas fuel cleaner, Lucas Oil products,and Lucas-style injectors.
But, for THIS thread, I'm thinking the OP has a chauffer named Lucas!

I thought he was talking about some kind of Lucas electronics. I remember back in the day, when they furnished the lighting for Triumph motorcycles. The slogan everyone used at the time was "Lucas- prince of darkness"

Nearly all the 50's and 60's English cars used Lucas lighting and the reputation of Prince Lucas was well-earned....

I think he wants to know who uses Lucas fuel system cleaner which is on sale at the Zone. Although our service manual says we don't need anything like this, the gas has changed since most of our service manuals were written. Now with ethenol in the gas moisture can cause problems and Lucas fuel system cleaners and others help remove some of that moisture. If your injectors start to clog from what ever the cause, a good fuel system cleaner might help. But I don't think you need it everytime you fill up. Maybe everytime you change your oil at most. My flame suit is on so fire away. 
BTW, doesn't the phrase go like this,"Lucas...the prince of darkness?"

I have used Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner in both my Vettes...seems like it may have helped the '94 (145k mile stock motor) a little...idle and initial power on takeoff seems to be a little more tractable...my wife even mentioned how much smoother the engine is driving around town when the A/C is on.
The '96, I haven't really driven it enough to tell...plus I blow the soot outta' that sumbitch every chance I get anyway!

I've used the Lucas power steering fluid in the Vette and it did seem to help a dying pump function a little longer. I put some of the Lucas fuel system cleaner in my other car when I went on vacation this summer, and it really did get better mileage. Seems like pretty good stuff. I figgure if it helped one car, at least won't hurt to try in the other one.
