There's this stuff called VdT that some Audi dealers can get their hands on... But it's EXPENSIVE!!!

Yeah the expensive stuff is good... I run it with 1/8th of a tank of gas... I was told it was much more effective that way.

On my A4 i use only perfect stuff so like the other guys i go with VdT like once every 3-4 months, but i have tried stp on my honda and it actually runs better then when it was my dads, or you can do what my redneck buddy does, brut after shave in your gas tank, feul injector cleaner, octane booster and you get a nice manly smell in your exhaust.

As you can obviously see from the vid, even the upper eschelons of the Ricer establishment, the HEAD RICER himself, even, DENIES not only the POWER of VdT, but it's very EXISTANCE...

If it weren't SOOOOOOOOOOO expensive I'd run it straight instedda gas!

Gumout Regane worked wonders for my car. Upped my fuel economy quite a bit.

FTR, I've used Outlaw octane booster for almost a decade now, on two different continents, 5 different cars... never had any problems with F/I's cloggin. But I use it regularly, no LESS than one every 3rd or 4th tankful.
