I'm gonna put in a BIG vote for the Seafoam but of course leave lots of room
for Jeff's mechanical expertise. Two riding buddies here used Seafoam in the
last two weeks and both noticed today they got more miles out of the tank.
Just blowing out the gunk helps.
So does more miles to the tank mean she's running cleaner and stronger? Dad
always told me to keep track of mpg in my first car - a loss means there's a
problem.
But, Jeff? How many miles per gallon at 120+?? Might there be a few
variables to that figure?
