Default After Auto Rx treatment I get 37mpg!!!!!

Note* Car weights a little less the normal cars, with turbo back, race seats 20lb a piece, no spare (triple A), after market rims 17 lbs a piece. I drive also with 3/4 a tank also.

efficiency increase with turbo back and running K04 with GIAC 5.0 bar fpr

Conditions of driving: LA freeways a bit of small ups and downs. Driving at 65mph no traffic to lite.

With a full fill up costing 50 dollars here - I am glad that i get these numbers.

Wow. I thought I was doing well at 30 with Stage 3. The 50 deg. temps here help too.

Default How can you drive on the LA freeways and have "no traffic to lite"?

Seems contradictory to what I have heard/seen about LA.

Unless you mean Louisiana, that is.

Default did you do one or two treatments? It says over 100k miles to do two, truth to this or trying to

sell more of their product?

Default I wish i was affiliated with them to get a discount on that stuff - expesnive at $22

a bottle. Then there is shipping.

But then when you think about gas costing 50 a tank that isn't that bad.

I follow audi junkie's recommendation with a pre treatment with a kero soak. Did only one treatment.

Car runs quieter, cooler, and smoother.

The engine doesn't make that tacking sound.
The oil temps are a bit lower.
Car is smoother - but maybe a placebo affect because everything has gone so well - no measurable evidence.

My car has 120K !!!! this was its first treatment.

All I can say is i love this stuff.

This item is 2nd on the my list of must haves for the A4.

The 1st is being Trippe A plus (100 miles of free towing.)

Default Well I have AAA plus (and just used the 100 miles towing a few weeks back) So one of top two steps

is completed! I will look up audi junkies post about kero soak as I am uncertain what that means. I am about 1500 miles until my next oil change, any reason i should not just remove some of the existing oil and add the Auto Rx? I am really broke and would prefer to avoid an extra 50 bucks for the first oil change. So i would remove x amount of oil, add appropriate Auto Rx, drive 1500 miles, then have oil changed, drive the 2,000 give or take miles and change oil again, thus only doing one premature oil change as opposed to one completely unnecessary change AND a premature change.. Thoughts on this approach?

Default I found Audi junkies post and it seems very involving and relatively expensive process.

I understand that for "best results" his method is probably the way to go. Would my previously mentioned adding it to oil and driving 1500 miles then changing oil do any good or wasting my time? Again, I understand it is not the best route, but a worthwhile route nonetheless? Thanks
