Ive seen more mileage out of the tank and I can feel a little bit more power. But ive talked with some others about their experience and they said they didnt notice anything. I dont know if the HO and Renix have differnt results when it comes to octane levels. Im sure there is some but as to how much I dont know.

That's one of the many awesome things about our motors. They can and will run off the best, or crappiest gas.

I prefer the good stuff too. Im sure between that and the Lucas fuel additives I put in it my injectors are probly pretty nice and clean. I still would like to upgrade them tho.

It would be a lot easier if they would make a better cap for the big bottle. I cant leave that in my jeep or truck. They tip over and leak. I got the small bottle with the green cap and carry that with me I just have to remember to fill it up. But that Lucas stuff is really good. I try running lucas in everything if its available. Diffs, engine, trani and fuel. My high mileage is prooving it's working.

I put mine in one of those big clear shampoo bottles that you can buy and carry the nozzle with me. When I first bought mine it wasn't taken care of at all but running Lucas and Royal Purple you would never think it had 250000 miles on it

If you're looking for a stock one I would suggest going to pick n pull and get one for cheap.
