Looks like the additional mileage is about 4%, which would be 1 mpg for us. How much the cost of Zmax would offset that I don't know.
    i remember i got some...i still have some...maybe we should do a test with my car...my transmition was going and i saw the add on tv and they asked for a credit card and they sent me one for like 30 bucks and then 6 months later they send me another one...i had to call them that i did not one any more and i still have the 2nd one...its like 4 years old in my garage...testing time then and see if it works at all

    Ive been readong some of the octane comments, i accually get about 15-20% better mileage on 93...
    Car definately feels more powerful.

    Iunno, maybe its just my car, but i have compared mileage on the clock per tank with each grade and timed my car from various pulls, dont make a huge difference in power but the mileage is definately worth the extra... what... two bucks?
