Default MPG increase from 14.7 mpg city to 17mpg

Hi all,

after my oil change at Lexus I bought some Techron fuel injection cleaner and surprisingly increased almost 2.5 mpg (city)! I can’t wait to test on highway to save me more gas money. My mileage is currently at 189,000
all I did was put Techron on empty tank and filled premium chevron gas. Wow! That was amazing this morning. Blessings,
I hope this helps many low mpg folks out there.

I noticed, Lukas fuel treatment does same thing, however, I use it only for engine cleaning.

I have a overconsumption of oil 2.5 quarts at 1000 miles problem but used some additive to hopefully continue using the engine.
I don’t want to listen to dealer about engine replacement. I rather buy a new Lexus but now is not the time so just taking chances to refill oil let me know your situation. I wonder how long the engine lasts for just adding engine oil for over consumption. Thank you

I’ll try that one next round. Thanks man. Is your engine running you good? How many mileage have you put on top of your car?
