Default Lucas Fuel Injector/Valve Cleaner

Is the shit. I just dumped some into the Legends gas tank. The shaking steering wheel at idle went away, you can't even hear the injectors, I imagine my gas mileage will be a lot better too.

However, there was one downside. I had a minor exhaust leak and apparently every exhaust valve was clogged, because as soon as I left Autozone, it's now one mother f'n loud exhaust leak.

I'm going to put some in the Vigor when I can get to the car later on this week.

Some guy in the integra forum tried to say that tranny fluid does the same thing as the Lucas cleaner.

Red Line SI-1 works well too in my experience. On my all-highway trip from MD to WI, I averaged about 25 mpg in my Miata which was kind of low compared to the EPA highway rating of 29. A few weeks later I used a bottle of SI-1 right before I headed to Chicago to visit my grandma and my mileage on that trip was about 28 mpg. I figure the 1 mpg short was due to my traveling at speeds higher than 65 mph.

You'll only get an improvement if your fuel injectors are gunked up. h:
