106 mile drive with no radio?.......Brutal.
-
Tried in a Tesla, it broke my battery
-
Wow. An honest car guy who doesn't believe in myths and legends, and actually does actual science. Newly subscribed, and looking forward to seeing more good stuff!
-
man, your Corvette gets better fuel economy than my Outlander 😕
-
Throw out the one obvious outlier, and you get an average of 0.48 increase in MPG.
-
This test showed that you take good care of your corvette.
-
i have to say..I dig this channel
-
I tried this. I only used one bottle of additive in an empty fuel tank and got from Iceland to Antarctica. Highly recommended.
-
Finally a non-biased, real, scientific test. Great work, this is what makes people come to your channel.

“HEY GUYS, CHRIS FIX HERE”. First super enthusiastic intro ... beginning of an era :’ )
-
You really did a lot of work to provide us accurate research data! Thank You So MUCH for this hard work! 🙏🏽
-
I've never been a big fan of 90's model sports cars, but I gotta say your corvette is an exception to that. Seeing it sitting there at night with the headlights on and the lamp lights shining on it, just a beautiful car. 👍👍👍
-
26 mpg with a vette is quite impressive.
-
ets buy this 8 dollar bottle first to save 2 bucks on gas lol

ChrisFix, I have watched a few of your videos and have subscribed as of this video. You break things down to the base level, its easy to comprehend, fairly entertaining if you are into automotive performance, and most importantly accurate. The level of detail you go into even with explaining why you did a test a certain way is more than welcome, it should be a standard for everyone doing a review video. Well done sir, and I look forward to seeing more of your test videos, including AMSOIL tests as I love using their Synthetic Oil.

Chris you have one of the most informative car videos hands down! I'd love to see one about fixing wheel bearings and how you know when you should fix them. Thank for the vids!
-
Nice test, but I think this proves that the fuel additive doesn't work, at least not enough to pay for itself.

Chris, I've recently discovered your videos and all I can say is "WOW" and "THANK YOU!" I recently purchased a 2002 Honda Accord SE with 196K miles, and your vids have been very helpful with me fixing the few things that needed work on the car. I used to have a 1994 Saturn SC1/5-speed. Bought it new, and it was the best car I've ever had. Sadly it got totaled when I was the middle of a 3-car accident (234K miles on it). I am an easy driver, doing mostly highway miles in the LA area. Averaged 26,000 miles a year or so. My mileage would be anywhere between 27 & 32 in town, upwards of 37 mpg on a pure road trip. I would try different fuel cleaners, usually Gum-Out, adding it every 5,000 miles. Whether they really helped or not I never knew, but I figured what the hell, it's $5 - 7 bucks, what could it hurt? Anyway, about 15 years ago and with around 160K miles on the Saturn, I tried a fuel additive that I found in a WalMart that was made by (of all companies) Turtle Wax. I forget what it was called, but it was some fancy/exotic name, and cost about $10.00 Added to an empty tank. Filled up & got my usual close to 400 miles on a tank of gas. BUT...after running that one tank, my mileage increased tremendously! In town was now always over 30, and road trips were between 39 & 42 (my all-time high)!! Started using it every 5,000 miles. After running a tank of gas, the mileage would shoot back up to the high numbers. Told all my friends about it, and they got similar results. And suddenly, around 2004, it was no longer available. I contacted Turtle Wax (letters, email, phone), and never got an answer as to why it was off the market. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but who knows - maybe the oil companies bought it out & killed it... I wish I could remember the name of the product. And I wish it was back on the market. Thanks again for the great vids & all the best to you! Tim
