Seafoam Results
I went to town today and picked up a bottle of seafoam to see if it might help milage or the rough idle any, seems like i only get about 7mpg these days. Well I put a hare over a pint in via vacum line and idle got a little better but performance really improved, What kind of results have you guys had? Should I also put a little in the oil?
Btw- I have a 460 EFI

Tuneup at 107,000 miles (Thats When Was Purchased)
Last Air Filter At 135,500 miles
Last Oil Change At 134,900 Miles
Last Raditor Flush At 135,000 Miles
Tires Rotated At 136,000 Miles
Plugs Probably Need Replaced Sometime
Might Put seafoam in oil a drive about 5 miles and change it or somthing
Anything else I should concider? Performace is pretty good but milage keep on going down since i got it

Fuel filter, clean IAC, new plugs/cap/rotor/wires if needed. Time it. Pull computer codes. Pretty standard tuneup stuff.

I'll let the oil get a little bit low, then add a quart of Rislone treatment to the crankcase about 200 miles before an oil change, I think the rislone treatment helps clean the crankcase a bit, frees up rings and things.
I have only used seafoam as an air intake cleaner, I spray it in the TB or do the vacuum trick,, seafoam does a good job!

Improvement!
I went to town today and got gas. Put 20.071 gallons in with 180.1 on the trip od which equals 9.022 I couldn't belive it! Seafoam made about a 2 mpg improvement. I put the seafoam in the vacum and gas and the oil right before i changed it. Does 2 mpg Improvement sound that realistic?

With seafoam yes. That stuff works wonders. Make sure you clean the entire inside of you throttle body with it. I did it to mine and didnt have to get into the gas as much to get more response.

Best advice yet!
Rislone in the oil, and seafoam into the vacuum line.
