This is anecdotal... how many gallons did you fill up with? And how many gallons did this trip take before using the FI cleaner? If you don't have that info, how much did the mileage change across a typical tank of fuel?
i filled it up (20 gallons).
1 way trip home to work=approx. 28 miles.
round trip=56 miles.
my car's mpg city/highway is about 23/32 (mpg comined is 26). (

so i'd say it took me approximately a little more than one gallon (give or take) one-way before the F1 cleaner.
I didnt systematically calculate anything after I put the F1 cleaner in, but since last wednesday when I made this post I still have yet to require a trip to get gas.
I've driven the same route (from home to work & work to home) on 5 different occasions (roundtrip) since last wednesday and usually need to fill up again after 5 trips (round trip).
However, after using F1, i'll most likely hit the red on my gas gauge this fri (dec 31) if not sat (jan 1) after taking another round trip drive to work on thurs.
I've personally felt like it has helped somewhat, but dont mark my words.
^^the above "analysis" is obviously limited in many respects, but this is as best as I can describe what I have seen the cleaner do for me.
Yes, i'm aware that mph have much to do with one's fuel consumption, but even if all of what I "claim" to be fuel savings is hodgepodge, it doesnt hurt using it in your car since it aids in other aspects of engine cleaning.
