I have added Lucas to random cars/trucks, LOVE IT! Amazing results, engines run smoother and great mileage gains! Heading down to FL in a Altima, filled up and added Lucas. As we traveled on I-75 the range till empty started going up! Gained at least 50-60 extra miles, on that tank of gas! Always have a gallon on hand. I will be using in every tank, in every car. Let's go Brandon!!!

This is sarcasm, right? Your car's range estimate increased because you transitioned from city driving (gas station in/out) to highway driving.

there is a service bulletin about this
Techtron didn't work for me, but I gave it a multiple real good tries. . I finally gave up after no improvement and reasoning that in my area, all top tear gas has the additive anyway , so the problem should never have happened if it was something a chemical could improve, because I ran a lot of gas through the thing when I first got it, the good stuff only.
I think my problem is in the fuel transfer between the tanks. The gauge works fine around town, but sustained long operation throws what I assume is a reading the computer doesn't understand , and throws the gauge to empty. I think corrosion or fouling would not allow perfect function save for that one condition. I will try to get the computer adjustment mentioned in a service bulletin about this problem, and hope that works, but do know the type of liquid transfer used can be tricky, and the car is old.
