I am currently in possession of a VW 2.8L 30V V6. It was new in 2003 and currently has 97,000 miles. Over the years this car has transmigrated into all sorts of vagabondage I can't even speak about here. I have noticed a rough idle, less overall power, and the gas mileage shrinking.
Aside from valve clearance, I am convinced that carbonaceous deposits are a key culprit in this villainy. I understand that Fuel Power is meant as a maintenance-dose remedy. I also get that one-shot elixirs like Amsoil PI and RLI Bio-Plus are stronger but harsher. Though I am an established fan, I'm unsure if FP60/3000 is up to the task. In truth, I am not concerned with cost-effectiveness, or trying out both products, or any other logical point of fact. My only question is, about how much FP-treated fuel equals the approximate cleaning action of one "shock" product application? Several tanks? Several hundred tanks?
Another thing I understand is how hopelessly unattainable it is to get an objective answer to this infinitely variable question. But I feel that a bunch of people taking stabs in the dark is better than nothing. And if that bunch of people were oil enthusiasts, well, it would be like a bunch of people with flashlights taking stabs in the dark. Just maybe we'll get lucky and stab something... that thing that we're stabbing at. You know what I mean. Don't pretend that you don't.
I am also using FP60 in my '06 Civic. This car has received enviable treatment (even when compared amongst humans) both inside and out. Fuel Power has provided no increased gas mileage, no improvement in idle quality, and no decrease in fuel pump or injector noise. In accordance to my ego, I believe this means my engine was in perfect working shape prior to the use of FP60. Hopefully, the cleaning and lubrication of parts is going as planned.
