This guy does non-biased additive tests all the time and this one shows great results. Check out the link below. I just ordered a bottle...

Fuel Additive That Actually Works?

This is supposed to improve power, and fuel economy.
The dyno test performed shows a nice increase in HP and Torque.

Does it work on cars that don't have a knock sensor? Like the 98-02 Accord V6
I will say its quite interesting from the video. I still will stick with Gumout All in One with pea or redline si-1. I have always had good luck with both of these products and at 125,000+ on a 2012 hyundai accent i get 38mpg+...more than the car got new as its listed at 37mpg. If you are getting E10 run Gumout All in One twice a month as it neutralizes ethanol, if not go top of the line with redline si-1 which has pea and an octane booster.
TC-W3, 1 ounce for every 5 gallons of gasoline.

^^^^^ put a tiger in your tank
Redline actually works as a carbon cleaner
Toluene and Xylene (alone or mixed) actually work as preignition and spark knock inhibitors.

I'll see what happens. The test shows promising results.

So why are you on the fuel additive board? Just trolling to pass the time?
Professor Platitude's maximum time since the last holier than thou pronouncement had passed, so...

You really want to find out?
Run an additive yourself in a car for which you have a good baseline of more than 10K miles of fuel consumption records.
Run it at the recommended dose for at least 5K and see whether you can see any difference.
The difference will be small, but might be real.
The easiest way to see any consistent trend would be to graph both the pre-add and post add fuel consumption figures.
Excel makes this easy.
There may well be some gain with the additive, but it may be so small as to make the marginal cost exceed the marginal savings.

Berryman B12 chemtool, seafoam and MMO are my top three.

AND MARINE STA-Bil
All work great!
Use them regularly with oil changes one of the three. Then the Stabil at every fill-up.

Put any of it that I have listed and it might just astonish you!!
You can thank OBAMA administration for helping mess your engine up too with 10-15 water attracting ethanol in your fuel system.
Trust me they do work.
Simple test to see if it works. Fill your tank. Take a distant road trip. Refill only this time add a can of seafoam or B-12 and then drive the same or perhaps further distance. See how many miles more you can go! I bet you will gain valuable 1-2mpg possibly
