As you drive into the gas station and prepare to "feed your belly" with your car, a well-planned sales pitch may be quietly unfolding. You may come across an enthusiastic fueler who not only has a fuel gun in his hand, but also has a new routine that people can't figure out. This mystery script is not a simple trick of jumping the gun and adding a little fuel to it, but a magic additive called "Fuel Treasure".
First of all, the prologue of this sales pitch often opens without you noticing. While you're focused on the merry upward movement of the gauge hands, this skilled fueler may have put a "mystery charm" on your tank cap. This is not a manual that comes with the factory, but a label that says it is recommended to use Fuel Treasure to improve the efficiency of gasoline combustion. If you don't know what to do, you may mistakenly think that this is the original requirement of the vehicle manufacturer, and then have the idea of "since the manufacturer has said it, let's add some more".
However, the truth is that although the fuel treasure seems to be able to play the role of a carbon scavenger for the engine, its effect is actually like chicken ribs, which is tasteless but a pity to discard. Its main effect is to help reduce carbon build-up inside the engine, but the actual effect varies greatly depending on the brand, quality and vehicle condition, and not all vehicles need to rely on it to keep them in top condition.
In addition, according to the research data in the industry (specific research reports or statistics can be cited here), the actual utility of fuel treasure has not reached the level of immediate results advertised by some merchants, and in some cases, improper use may lead to damage to the performance of the car. Therefore, as for whether to add fuel treasure to the car, we can make rational judgments and choose carefully according to the condition and needs of our vehicles.
In the face of this new gas station routine, how should we respond? You may wish to do your homework first to understand the actual needs of your vehicle, and at the same time, you must also learn to screen various products to avoid blindly following the trend of consumption. After all, our wallets don't want to be "**" for no reason
