So early this spring when I was trying to find a place to inspect the scoot, I ran into a mechanic that raved about this stuff. He said everyone in his shop used it. I kind of poo pooed it, thinking he was trying to up sale me on some gimmick. I ran into it in Walmart for a dirt cheap price. I thought, what the heck, and bought some. I dropped an ounce in and really didn't notice a difference. I was expecting at least some difference in the miles per gallon but nothing happened. Now that I look back, I did get a significant change in miles per gallon in the next two fill ups. I didn't add any of the stuff then. I guess I really didn't give it a chance.

Two weeks ago, when I thought I wouldn't be riding anymore for a while, I filled up and dropped in an ounce. I figured there was no need to go out and get stabil or seafoam when I already had this stuff.

Today, I took her out for a bit. She warmed up really nicely like it was a 70 degree day, even though it was below 40. Throttle response smoothed out a lot. Nothing I would have noticed before, but the more I ride the more I notice.

I did some googling and found that mechanics in MD are recommending it, because of the high ethanol we have in our gas now. I'm guessing some mechanics would rather spend their springs working on real issues instead of cleaning carbs.

Okay...that is my rant of much about nothing. Happy Holidays!    :cheers:
