First time using Gumout's Regane (or any fuel additive) tonight on a 03 Honda CRV with 85k miles. For $5, I think the idle is smoother and the throttle response is quicker. Can I actually feel that difference or did I just pay $5 for some psychotherapy?

Regane does indeed seem to make vehicles run noticeably different, but it is probably due to the kerosene.

That's sorta my speculation too. I think it's probably wise marketing to add something that's going to show the wisdom of the purchase. The last thing you want to happen is nothing.

I just found out that the Shell V-Power stuff has 1-5% PEA. I shouldn't have stocked up on it BOGO.

Wow, 5% max, that is weak. What does Redline have?
Don't quote me but I thought Gary Allan posted it had 30-40%.

I believe that Redline SI-1, Amsoil PI, Gumout Regane and Gumout Large Vehicle Fuel System Cleaner all used to list around 30-40% content.

Can also reduce fuel octane, since kerosene is very close to diesel octane levels.
