has anyone used or heard of fuel pills. the pills help in the raising of fuel say from 95 to 98.
not only are they suppost to raise the fuel raiting but increase the efficiency of the burn to help create betta economy and use less fuel.
Heard of them, and like most fuel saving miracle devices, they are a scam.

heard of them and seen them at a motor show at the Melbourne Exhibition Center, not worth what you pay for the savings, and yeh if you use a 95 octane just run a 98 once a month just to clean it out a bit, or the best is octane boost additives if you want to up the octane rating, used these in a vr v6 i had and yes you could feel the difference once it settled in the tank, i don't think it would give better fuel economy or that much better anyway, will burn a bit better and clean the chamber a bit being a higher octane rating, but not a huge difference.
i think most of the balls are tollulene, the stuff does work, alot of dirt circuit racers use it due to not being able to run on avgas anymore. it does increase the octane level of the fuel, how much im not 100% sure.
well i got given these pills im not selling them so get that out of the way but hey there free so these are the pills

all that was what there site said. as i said im not selling these but ive done way worse to the ute so why not. what do you think will happen?
personally i dont think youll notice anything![]()
the pills do work have tested and tryed but for their price use 98 premium instead
ok cool so tell us more peter like the car you used it in type of fuel used [ say if you used 92 and it felt like 95 or 98 that type of thing ]with and diffrence in car drivabilty even if it made a diffrence to the ks you got
it doesnt add 50 kws if thats what ya getting at all it does it makes it smoother and pulls a pooftenth faster and a coulple extra k's out of ya tank the same as running prem 98
on a v6

man i have no idea. i filled up the misses car the other day[a 2001astra] and dont get the wrong idea but she hates cars [thats all i talk about] any way i put the cleaner that comes with the pack and half a pill in her tank with out her knowing. well yesterday she said her car has been realy realy good on fuel this week and in her words it feels realy strong when you put your foot down and has more go. to day is the day that will tell the tail every friday she said its down to the 3/4 mark so ill tell you more tonight
well so far she is a 1/4 of a tank in front for the week so far![]()
I have my hands on a few packets of these types of booster pills.. Doesnt make any difference that i notice. I use them in our work van.. (maybe the pills killed our clutch!)
well thats kind of y i used them on my misses car with out her knowen to see if she would notice iat the moment i am to busy floging the ute and having fun to see any diffrence in fuel econ and the ute is tuned to 98ron. dont think im sold on these pills cause im not i am just curious to see and still have an open mind. we have only just hit the 3/4 mark after driving it all day so so far so good.
might just stick to stp octane boost give the pills a miss
the car dose not run very good on normal unleaded it stalls and gets the shacks wen stoped
cheaper then using premium
sorry dont understand how dose it clog up ur cats
