Well, it's definately not an anti-gel: "UPDATE: With winter here, avoid storing CA-40 in cold temperatures, and remember to shake it up very well before adding to fuel."

Also, their testing sounds........ fishy. There is no way a fuel additive is going to give you a 50hp gain. Impossible. The "lubricity test" they used is a method already proven very inaccurate for testing actual lubricity.

I have no idea if the product actually works. If it does, great. However the marketing and the information provided on the website gets my bull **** detector going.
