One of the most important factors in deciding on vehicles is the fuel efficiency it gets. Fuel prices can take a stranglehold on your wallet and it is nice to know that you are saving more than others at the pump. Companies offer an optional fuel additive at gas stations that supposedly raise fuel efficiency in your vehicle. Our Mercedes-Benz Brampton dealership looked into this subject and has the answers to your questions.

What Is A Fuel Additive?
These are additives that raise the octane rating of fuel so that is burns hotter and lubricates your engine better to raise the efficiency of your gasoline. They are common and mixed into fuel with the goal of improving effectiveness. For additives that you pay extra money for, they scrub the engine of build-up to clean your engine and boost fuel efficiency.

Does It Work?
Through testing, it’s found that fuel additives don’t have much proof of raising your vehicle’s fuel economy. However, you do benefit from cleaning the injector of your car to prevent erosion, this increases your vehicle’s engine life. For older cars this is important because replacing the fuel injector is an expensive task.
