Concerning fuel - with the latest government recommendations, all fuel suppliers are under pressure to add 10 percent ethanol. Esso at the moment are not adding any to their 97octane super! But it is relatively expensive and they may be forced to add 5 percent Ethanol in the near future!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I've been running E10 in my 80s-90s vintage Jags for 20+ years. Nothing bad has happened

They all seem to work well. Weight reduction. One's wallett.

Wqy back when,I got biot by a snake oil saleman. No more, I avoid them.

I'm like Carl, magic-in-a-can has never made sense to me. If you use good oil and change it regularly, that's more than half the battle. The other half is reducing the number of 3 mile trips to the grocery store every week and if you can't do that, get out on the freeway every couple of weeks and do a hundred miles at the speed limit, plus your speeding ticket comfort factor. That's really all it takes.
