ok, this reminds me - i was actually gonna ask about additives at some point. i've never used 'em on any car i've had. my 1975 164e only gets supreme/premium/whatever gasoline. i see all sorts of fuel treatments for cleaning injectors & fuel systems, octane boost etc, and i've been too chicken to use any of them, cuz, well, you can really funk stuff up. same for oil (a la slick 50) treatments etc. on the other hand, my auto likes to seep a bit of oil here and there and say i forget to check it or want to cruise for a distance - would be nice to know that there's a "space-age lubricant bonded to the engine's metal bits" or whatever they say.

does anything actually work, insofar as fuel or oil treatments / additives? has anyone measured a difference after the $14 bottle of chevron techron fuel additive? has anyone used slick 50 then drained their oil to see if the thing doesn't sieze up?

wondering...
