What does "best" mean?

I found that beyond a point, my MPGs dropped quick.
I figure that any car will run fine with none. Too much isnt a good thing, so less is more. Beyond that it is fairly arbitrary.

I use the recommended 4 oz, to 10 gallons of fuel, it gives the best MPG improvement and also my truck seems to get the best performance and benefit out of the UCL properties of MMO at that dose. It took some experimentation with different amounts of MMO to figure out the best and most beneficial dose though.

"best Performance" "best fuel mpg" "best fuel system cleaning"
I'm sure every engine has it's own "personality" and adding MMO slightly above or below the recommended dose may yield better results.

Try 3 ounces and work down from there. 2 ounces in 10 gallons of gas is a 640:1 ratio, which is very little IMO. How long have you been using MMO?

I usually use 6 oz for the tank (~15 gal.), but I had a brain [censored] and added 8 oz. Oops!
The 4 ounces per 10 gallons seems to please my little 2.5 Altima.
My 02 Z06 said if you ever poison me with that 'stuff', in any dose again, I'm going to shoot at least 1 rod right thru the block.*

8oz in a 17gal tank for my 03 Buick (new engine with about 6k mi on it).
Not only does it seem peppier in town but my gas mileage has improved substantially. 300mi of in town driving on one tankful driving very aggressively. I'd be lucky to get 250 out of a tankful before driving conservatively (i.e. like a granny). Now I can drive it harder and get slightly better gasmileage.
I saw no effect at 4oz/10. I tried less and then decided to try more. More works for me.

3rd time, started with a mistake of 4oz/19gal, then realized on the second tank to do 8oz/19gal, this time is the 3rd tank at 8oz/19gal, I refill with about 1 - 1 1/2 gal left.

What did you experience with using MMO in that vette ? How much was used?

In my experience, MMO has done nothing for my modern EFI engines but my carb'd engines seem to love it.
I have tried different doses in my Altima 2.5 S and my wifes Lexus RX and I notice nothing beneficial in smoothness/quietness or MPG. But, the carb'd engines('80 Firebird FORMULA 4bbl V8, various lawn mowers/snow blowers) all seem to start and run better with a consistancy that I can't explain. Especially the older equipment or should I say, as they age.

Did a few treatments only and stuck to 4 ounces in 10 gallons. MMO is hard to get here so I'm back to TC-W3, which seems to work just as well.

I use a sloppy 4 ounce/10 gal. I give an old Lucas bottle filled with MMO or TCW3 a good hand squirt and then measure it afterwards.
So 3-5 is what it ends up.
