Sajeev,

Longtime reader, first time writer. I love reading your stuff, well worthwhile.

My query is about fuel additives, after-market specifically. I have used the Lucas Oil products and found them to produce a mile or two better MPG in my 94 D21 four banger. (Note: that’s a Nissan Hardbody – SM)

What is your take on additives? Have you found any others to be of significant value to the user/user’s vehicle?

  • JMII I mentioned this before but my local Nissan dealer has taken over the nearby shopping mall's parking lot. Frontiers are plentiful.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Making payments on a new car is also killing you.
  • Paul I don't know how GM can fail to sell sedans. Other manufacturers seem to be able to, as others have noted. The Impala (which I've had as a rental) was a very nice sedan and the Malibu (which I had as a rental more recently) was a pleasant, competent vehicle also. Maybe they are still suffering from the bad rep they got in the malaise era into the 80s.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X How a Versa that's a $18000 car became a $24000 car says a lot. Or even the jacked price of the current Frontiers. Not worth it.
