Your loss. Welcome back MS. -Chuck

Thanks for the offer. I am sure to make it to the left coast at some point. Let's not get hung up on brand names. The Lucas additive is nothing unique, it is simply a blend of a very heavy petroleum oil base, and some additives. It was around 40 years ago when I was a kid, so any patent they...

It's a shame that we are on such distant coasts. I'd gladly meet you for a drink sometime. -Chuck OBTW, the feds have been mandating things about your fuel, oil, drink, etc. for years. Hadn't you noticed? Things like low sulfur, no-lead, low phosphorous, pasteurized milk, iodized salt...

And yet, the federal government just mandated that the CAFE requirements increase from 25MPG to 35MPG. They are forever mandating little stuff like that. If Lucas could really produce a 50% increase in fuel mileage, it would be required. If Lucas could really produce a 50% increase in fuel...

How ever did you conclude that? I am pleased to have you express your opinions all you want DUG; however, if you feel the need to drag me into your opinions by reference, don't be surprised when I respond. -Chuck

Good! Go with what you know, DUG. -Chuck

You might find it enlightening to read the whole thread. Bob is the oil guy has been discussed. His testing would have been more useful if he would have discussed speeds, mixtures, etc.. Some think it would have been better if he had tried the Lucas oil thickener in more than one brand of...

Yes, I know. I though it was obvious enough that I didn't mention it, but I probably should have anyway. I still haven't been able to find any positive test results that aren't from a biased source... negative ones either. Even Bob is the Oil guy has bent some of his tests towards his...

Here is another article about oil additives. They have some words to say about Lucas too! The Facts About Aftermarket Oil Additives -Chuck

I am truly humbled! ... Well maybe not ;-)... But before you call your congressman, and tell him your plan for the US to save billions of barrels of oil each year, how about doing a trip back to your brother's house with Lucas? I get about 10MPG better gas mileage (in my car) going to my...

Nope! You missed the whole point of that post. Military Steel told us that he took a 120 mile trip. 60 miles to his brother's house, and 60 miles back. At his brother's house, he put Lucas in his truck. And it suddenly got cooler, quieter, drove faster, and got 3MPG better fuel mileage to...

No thanks I prefer SAE 30 straight up. It's good on groat cakes too! -Chuck

When we were kids, the powers that be told us to be wary of peer pressure. It is a very strong influence on virtually everyone. If (for some very strange reason) you want to convince me that Lucas improves your gas mileage, do a double blind test. Have your garage drain your oil, and then...

Honestly DUG, you're taking this much too seriously. I don't really care if anyone, or everyone in this group decides to use Lucas, or any other additive. I brought a little counterpoint to all of the "me too!" testimonials. Not one piece of independent test information has been posted in...

Wow! You do realize that this website is hosted by SFR, a manufacturer of after market oil additives, and a major competitor to Lucas? Here is what they had to say about Lucas: "In regards to Lucas we tested this product in terms of its ability to reduce wear under pressure or even extreme...

I still can't come to grips with the fact that with such a perfect additive that makes your car/truck run faster, jump higher, get drastically better fuel mileage, and even run cooler, that the government doesn't mandate that we all use Lucas in our cars/turcks. Just think of all of the...

David, Now I am really puzzled! How did you come to the conclusion I was angry, hot, or loud? I don't get it. I am reaching a point with this group where I cannot post anything without someone feeling the need to criticize me about something. Am I not welcome on Steel Soldiers? I kind of...

Hi Dittle, I wasn't aware that I was chest pounding. I though I was answering the specific objections to my last post. Try as I might, I haven't figured out a way to answer complicated questions without burning a few words. They are recyclable, so I don't worry to much about the waste... but...

I don't think it really is a matter of luck. I think it is more because I have owned a lot of old iron, and I generally take it well beyond the mileage and time that the manufacturers hoped I would. It is rare the car or truck that I don't take past 200,000 miles. Some get to 300,000 miles...

"Bob is the oil Guy" is a website that professes to be independent of any oil company. They started out by publishing lab analysis of the various additive packages used in commercial name branded, and store branded oils. They sell nothing. They were started up much like SS, by a group of guys...
