OK, that makes sense, but wouldn't that eventually clog the catalytic converter, all the gas going out the exhaust? And is there any way to measure this power loss, per cylinder?
The shop I use said not to use gas additives/ fuel injectors, saying they usually don't work, can cause more problems, blah, blah, blah.
