Fuel additive for Fuel economy

Hi guys

i've been hearing things about fuel additives for greater fuel economy and a cleaner burn in the motor is this true? if so guys could u tell me what would be the best additive to use for a 2000 7.3L? as currently with poor injectors, broken turbo wheel and compressed exhaust system im getting about 12.8 MPG.

I have also found this online its a bundle for exhaust intake turbo and such so if anyone could tell me something about it it would be greatly appreciated its also a BANKS setup.
Banks Power Powerstroke 7.3L BigHoss Bundle (Single Exhaust)

thanks alot guys!
Cameron

my radio car guy Ed Wallace of insideautomotive.com swears by RXP

no fuel additive can make up for broekn parts on your engine.... but you knew that

but the BEST fuel additive is feathering your right foot.... and losing weight... and aerodynamics

sorry, of your truck, not you

How are you diagnosing your mechanical problems?

What do you mean by "poor injectors?"

Turbo's don't usually work at all with a broken wheel. Which wheel do you think is broken? What makes you think it's broken? Do you have a pic?

Lastly, please explain "compressed exhaust system."

Is you rig all stock? What mod's have you done if it's not stock?
