Default Fuel Additives

I was wondering if any of you guys use fuel additives and if so what kind and what are your experiences with them so far. Are they really any good or just a mind thing? I bought the STP silver fuel additive (apparently has jet fuel). And honestly, i had a hard time pouring it in. LOL.

The audi hole is not big enough??? I shoved it in and it kinda took it and then some of it leaked out. I will try again. Maybe ill shove the tip in it a bit harder. Any way please share your thoughts.

Default snake oil for cars

JMHO anyway. I do think it's a good idea to add in a bottle of fuel injection cleaner every now and then, but anything else, miracle in a bottle stuff, just isn't worth the money.

BTW: Use a funnel with a small tip when putting anything in the gas tank, Audi purposely made the opening just big enough for the gas nozzle and nothing more.

Default It's not bad; serves a purpose, ie, a cabrio with space for car seats in the back.

In another 2 years that the kids would be able to sit with at most a booster seat, the cabrio options will open up! By then I might unload both the 93 and the S8 and get an M6 cabrio :-) An RS4 cabrio would be great if Audi would bring it to the US.
