Hi Folks,
I bought a 97 honda civic back in march 2012.

Footnote [1]
The car was having bad hesitation when accelerating. And occasionally some jerkiness/stumbling.
So i ran a tank of gas with Gumout Regane. And there absolutely is an improvement. Clearly, there is NO more hesitation at all.
It also does SEEM as though the jerkiness/stumbling has also gone away. But i am less certain about that. It's a bit harder to tell as the jerkiness/stumbing was NOT as consistent as the hesitation.
Granted, i wouldn't expect everyone to get such noticeable results. As i believe that my car's injectors/combustion chamber was dirtier than most.
BUT this is the SECOND car in which Gumout Regane has clearly produced NOTICEABLE improvements. I believe that a good fuel additive really should be part of the Maintenance Schedule that comes in the owner's manual.
Before i was a member of BITOG and honda tech a mechanic told me that i needed new fuel injectors. So i forked out a good bit of money to him. I strongly suspect that it's very likely that merely adding a good fuel injector would have SAVED me a significant amount of money. In any event, it would have been better if this mechanic at least suggested TRYING an injector cleaner BEFORE replacing them.
Footnote [1] A lot of people who advised me NOT to buy that car. But i bought it anyway.
FYI, one very major reason for me buying it that my trusty neighborhood mechanic inspected it and recommended it. And then another fellow, was one good neighborhood friend, whom i fully trust, telling me to TRUST our neighborhood mechanic. Our neighborhood mechanic, whom i already trusted very much. Our neighborhood mechanic whom i had already been sending friends and customers to for YEARS.
