    SeaFoam

    SeaFoam

    I finally decided to give this a try after reading so many members having good results with it. I dumped a bottle of sea foam in my tank and saw great results. Coming back from uwharrie I maxed out at 17.3MPG I've never seen those numbers even before the lift and bigger tires. All country roads going threw small towns stop lights and stuff so not highway miles. It's settled down to 16 right now but I expected that once I got home. I'm not sure where the MPG will settle to now that I'm at home driving my normal route but it's been three days now and I've never stayed above 13MPG for very long and thats after resetting the gauge so the fact that I'm still at 16 is awesome. I did not use seafoam anywhere else because I'm to far from my oil change. So once I'm ready for an oil change I will get another bottle and put half in the crank and I guess half in the throttle body. Anyone else have a seafoam success story?

    I've used it for several applications. It will do the same thing in a diesel. My jetta (the last one TDI) don't get too jealous here would get pretty consistently with the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel 49mpg (before they changed to the new diesel in 07 I got 52) with the sea foam i'd get about 54mpg. I've also used it to clean out fuel systems on motorcycles that have had bad gas. Helps clean out carb jets when ran through. Quite nice stuff (but it is 8 bucks a bottle).

    WOW bro thats a lot of MPG's man. I got an extra 4 MPG going to and from Uwharrie which is about 64 miles one way. At my best MPG before seafoam (13MPG) I spent 9.8 gallons round trip. After seafoam I spent 7.3 gallons round trip Saving me 2.5 gallons of gas at $4.00 a gallon thats $10 in savings $10 for seafoam so my first trip the stuff paid for its self if I did this math correct???????? I'm still at 16MPG so I'm still running 3MPG better so saving money every time I drive it now.

    Sounds right. It's good stuff and has been around a long time. Some people are religous about it (like my dad). My Jetta TDI was a 2005.5 Diesel (bought it the third month they changed from the older square jetta's to the newer style jettas). It was a bit different than the new diesel they are using. Mine was a 1.9L 105hp and 195ftlbs tq. The new one is a 2.0 ( since 2008 was bored a bit) made from the 1.9 and it produces I think 140 hp and 235tq. The new one doesn't get quite the milage of the first model but is a bit speedier so the estimate the new one on the HWY at 42.

    My best mpg i ever got was on my honeymoon going from augusta, ga to Gatlinberg. I made it there and back on the same tank and put 820miles on the tank (14gallons) at 58mpg avg. Needless to say my wife is kind of egging me on to buy another TDI which I loved so I wouldn't mind. It's just not as fast as my GLI.

    My MPG I quoted in the last is HWY only I drove on I95 from where i lived to savannah and my school was located about 4 miles off the hwy so i travled 40miles a day only about 8 of which weren't on a non stop HWY trip. I'd get about 42-46 in town but rarely ever drove only in town.

    I went to their web site and found several products, which one specifically are you using?

    I get 40 MPG with my smart but would be interested in seeing if that can improve even more.

    SeaFoam motor treatment is what I used. I think the benefits come from cleaning and lubing the fuel system. I don't think putting it in a new vehicle would do any good. I can't wait to try it in the crankcase.

    I used the motor treatment and put the the whole can in my tank. When I'm with in a few hundred miles of my next oil change I will get another can and put half in my cranks case and half in the throttle body and watch all the smoke fill my neighborhood. LOL
