Best Gas Mileage - How Using a Fuel Additive Help Improve Your Gas Mileage

Summer is here and it looks like gas prices aren't going to permanently go down any time soon. There may be some dips and troughs here and there, but for the most part it looks like we're in for a summer of high gas prices.

Many consumers are searching for other ways to save on their overall fuel costs. There are many money saving tips that you can follow that have been show to increase your overall gas mileage. One that is often overlooked is using a fuel additive to increase your car's performance. But what types of fuel additives are available and what do they do?

First, please understand that when I talk about fuel additives I am not necessarily talking about other products like detergents and injection cleaners. Most fuel additives are put directly into the gas tank to increase your octane. Most will also have some other effects on your engine such as cleaning out carbon deposits which will also increase your overall gas mileage.

Some of the benefits of using a good fuel additive include the following

Increase gas milage

Decrease octane requirement (let's you get more out of lower octane gas)

Reduce carbon deposit build up in the engine

and usually more depending on the brand

As you can tell, there are a lot of benefits to using some type of fuel additive. Make sure that it's a product that's been on the market for awhile and has been proven to work by independent companies. It's one thing to have the manufacturer say that it works, but it's another thing entirely to have the backing of another company that is not associated with the maker. Don't just believe the hype of some products, get some good background to make sure you're using an effective product.
