Thumbs up HOWES Meaner Power Kleaner is by far the BEST!!!

Please, everyone leave there house right now and go buy HOWES POWER KLEANER Fuel additive. The difference it makes is insane. I noticed my MPG's go down about 2-3mpg when I put the 33" tires about 3 weeks ago. I just added the Howes Power Kleaner and it brought it right back up to what I had and and plus it cleaned my injectors. The best $9 I spent PERIOD!!!

Did you order it online, or is there a place locally you can pick it up? I checked their site, and it says the AZ distributor is in CA.

I order mine from the distributor by the case of 6qts, about $55.00 delivered to my door.

Very few places carry it retail. But call around the local truck stops and maybe you'll get lucky.

Need clarification please,
Are you saying you use howes MC all the time since last spring but have not used it since you installed the bigger tires and when you added it back the mileage went back up?

3 mpg?? And it cleaned your injectors?? Did you take them out and look at them?? I'm not saying it isn't a good product...but that sure is a heck of a claim.

"Guaranteed 4.8% or twice your money back"

Is one heck of a claim to have stamped on the bottle also!!

At 18 MPG X 4.8% = .864

Nice improvement from a additive but not 3 MPG.

That's why I was asking for clarification. My guess is the howes cleaned the injectors and he regained the mileage he once had before the injectors gummed up. Which would be around 2 mpg increase from cleaning and 1 mpg from additive ingredients.

Either way it's still an increase from what he was getting. which is nice with the cost of fuel.

What does this possibly mean. Some one who uses additives for injector cleaning on a regular bases might see 1 mpg increase to possibly nothing. A person who doesn't use injector cleaner on regular bases could see a nice improvement.

Not just any injector cleaner gets me 18.67 mpg while towing my 6k trailer at 62mph! I've gotten 20.5 mpg at 70mph unloaded. I'm running 4.10's!

Besides with a twice your money back guarantee what do you have to lose??

Your power box is throwing your overhead computer off. Make sure your speedo is correct and then hand calculate your fuel mileage. You'll be surprised that your not makeing the fuel mileage you think you are.

Both of those are hand calculated and I rarely use the box except on the track.

Both mpg figures were in the flat lands on long trips with the cruise control set. I by no means get these figures average.
