Does prolong additive work ?

Came across this on the web the other day and was interested as to whether this does what it promises. I know that the federal trade commission was going after them, has anyone used this before?

Just do a web search and you will find that the FTC is suing all these companies that make Slick 50, Motorup, Prolong......etc.

The fact that additives like this and slick 50 are actually still on the market just shows how many people there are out there that do not see all the law sutes there are on these products.

In a word or two, RUN, RUN, RUN!!!
