I was thinking of buying the BG44K but figured I would try this first. Car felt totally fine on the way home. With the RP its even sold at Walmart. Super easy to get and only $13.47

I know some will think Im nuts but I feel like when Im at idle at a light I dont feel the cars slight idle vibration as much. Seems to idle smoother. For $13 its a no brainer.

Well for my car (GCC Spec) Lexus forces you to put in injector cleaner every 10k km.
I get a warning light "injector maintenance", when I asked Lexus what they do they said simply add an injector cleaner.
So I've been doing this every 2,500km for the past 30k km. So far so good.
My car used to hang when driving on the motorway at a constant speed. Ever since putting in the injector cleaners the car has performed better.

I actually just bought me a bottle and pour it in along with filling up the gas tank. I do notice slightly better response and a little smoother pull. I will see in the next 200 miles.

They have that at Walmart too. I'll check it out. Went with RP because of the reviews and all the hype on the forums.
I know nothing about sea foam , other than it has a weird name. Is there an advantage of using that over the traditional stuff??
