Fuel Misconceptions

There are three main misconceptions regarding improved fuel economy:

• Fuel additives purchased from a retail automotive store are just as effective as a fuel additive like BG’s 44K only available at professional automotive shops. (44k was tested against a variety of other products and was the only one proven to work effectively.)
• Buying more expensive fuel regardless of grade will reduce nasty build up in your vehicle. (The grade of fuel can make a marginal difference, but the dollar amount has no effect on your fuel effectiveness)
• Cutting out preventative maintenance will help balance the additional pennies spent on fuel because preventative maintenance is only suggestive. (This is the worst misconception, without proper preventative maintenance, your fuel economy may decline, and your vehicle will need additional repairs.

After much debate as to whether the BG Fuel Induction Service including the 44k additive was cost effective. We put a pen and paper to it so we could measure dollars and sense! Below are the results:

The average driver drives 120,000 miles during the life of their vehicle, this driver will save an average of $500 to $800 in fuel expense over the life of their vehicle just by using BG. Call 60 Minute Tune for details.

Dirty Injectors

You know your car probably better than anyone else. So when you feel like something is off you are probably right. Dirty injectors can cause a variety of symptoms with little or no warning. Without the proper care these symptoms can turn into a very expensive repair bill at the wrong shop. Your auto repair shop should always use a diagnostic tree to ensure they are recommending the right service for you. This will save you time and money in the long run. One more reason to choose a professional repair shop.
 
Here are a few symptoms to look for, poor fuel economy, sputtering, slow start, miss fire. Over the counter injection cleaners can cause even more problems. Call your repair shop and always ask for BG. Increase your return on your car by preforming proper maintenance according to your manufacturer's recommendations. Why BG? We recommend BG products because of  their effectiveness, warranty, and the results they deliver. Depending on your current mileage, BG offers a lifetime warranty just for doing what you should be for your car.
