Must be a plumber in Wisconsin.  What is all going on under the hood?  I bet he could remove all that heavy metal tubing and elbows and gain another 3 MPG.  Then he could use the cruise control.

Additives, heat on fuel lines and on intake is what I read.  But what a spaghetti farm under there.  I will never consider the few extra lines I have on my Rabbit for the WVO system to be a clutter to the engine bay again.  Wow.  Makes you just want to rip into it and clean it out.

Too bad it's such a cluster ph*** otherwise it looks like not too bad of a car. Kinda far for me.
