I ran a bottle of it through my Fiance's car and it helped a lot.
She was getting some minor detonation due to carbon in the cyl (she drives like an old lady), and after the sea foam the car ran better and gets better gas milage. It smoked like a buch of hoodlums in a 64 impalla.

There is no point in using seafoam if you car does not have carbon deposits in the engine, it is designed to clean out your top end.
As far as putting it in your gas and oil, I think thats ignorant.

Most of the people with performance cars run premium fuel with has cleansing agents in it already. This keeps your fuel system pretty clean, but will still leave carbon in your top end.
As far as putting it in your oil, I just dont think anyones engine would be so dirty that the bottom end would need to be cleaned. I think its pointless unless you run it into your top end through your vacum booster.

understandable, but jsut becaue the fuel has cleaning agents in it, doesnt mean the fuel its self if that clean, most of the tanks under gas stations are dirty as ****, might not help, but for 6 bucks, it cant hurt. as for in the oil, hell i had half a can left no need to leave it sittin around and it was time to change the oil anyway
