Fuel Additive

I was wondering if this fuel additive would be safe or even worth putting in an RX-8.It is an ethanol and water stabilizer, cleans and lubricates and has a small amount of octane booster in it. It is called Fuel Juels. I have used it in my wifes dodge charger and i did see a small differance. The website i found on it is fueljuels.com. this is not a spam message or an ad. I legitimately want to know if it would have any good or negative affect on my RX-8.

We have a local member/rx8 racer that worked as a petroleum engineer for decades and he told me that Techron is the standard and that there is really nothing better you can use. So I use a bottle of that every two oil changes.

My early career was spent in the petroleum plants of SE Texas. Petro engineers stopped trying to improve upon additives, as Techron was widely believed to be the best that could be achieved. O'Reilly frequently has BOGO promotions on Techron. I take 4 of them every time they do, and run 1 (20 gallon) bottle right before each oil change. I can't prove it does anything, but it makes me feel better for some reason.

Just used a bottle... was hesitating, pinging under load at 5-6K, and generally running poor. Seems to have cleared that. Injectors???

I use a product made by BG called 44k. I personally run it at every other oil change. Is a complete fuel system cleaner and it works amazingly well. I used it in my BMW and the gas mileage went up a half a mile per gallon and I noticed that the idle was smoother. I use all BG products for cleaners and penetrants, battery service, and throttle body and intake maintenance. I get them from a BG rep and I personally haven't used anything better.

MD fuel additive

After checking out the additive the Mazdaverx7 mentioned and reading this website:
http://efuelinjectorcleaner.reviews. I think I will try out the BG44K and see how that works out.
