Seems to run normal. It feels a little smoother and stronger, but I attribute that to a placebo effect.

5th tank - 16.4 mpg. Seems to be holding steady. One weird thing I have noticed is when I check it at about half tank it is usually low at around my old average of 15.7 then somehow it comes back up at the end. This would make sense if I had a return style fuel system and the fuel was running through the catalyst multiple times to make it more concentrated or whatever it is supposed to be doing, but this shouldn't be the case with mine. I still don't know how it could be working, but I like the results.

Any idea how many tanks of gas you'll use before the magic fairy dust runs out? j/k

How about the claims of cleaner oil between changes? Have you changed yours yet?

Actually, I just had it changed yesterday. However, my father in law owns a shop and changes it for me so I have no clue. Next time I will try to remember to ask. Might be hard to get a to get a true conclusion by just looking at it though.

6th tank - 16.4 mpg. Pretty confident that it is working now. I'll probably post up one more tank and then just bring it back up if anything ever changes. Somebody else should try it and see if you get the same results.
