you may wanna try another treatment. sounds like there's more mpg to be freed up by another deep clean. no single cleaning gets it all, remember

I just gave it the top end treatment today. Pouring it in at idle didn't smoke much at all, but the startup after the kill step had some. After the 10 minute idle and 4 WOT runs from 30 to 100 it went away.

Along with the fuel filter change posted on the first page, I also recommend putting the can in the gas FIRST and then filling up, all at the pump of course. Because when you put in the seafoam, then fill up the car, that will mix it up alot better than just driving around corners and the like
And I thought Deep Creep was their version of Penetrating Oil haha :S

Although, when you add it first and then fill up, gas is actually pouring into the tank pretty quick, so I guess that would do a good job of agitating the mixture. I guess there's no good way to really test which is better

If you add it first, it's stuck at the bottom and may not mix as well since the top of the tank will slosh more than the bottom; kind of like waves on a lake or on the ocean. The waves are at the top of the water, not the bottom.
