Lubri Molly or STP or other?

I had the same question someone posted above. I wondered if the Lubri Molly product that you add in your tank (not the stuff for direct clean into the injectors), was any better than the STP or other stuff sold at Auto Zone.

The thing is, my car runs quite smoothly, its just a little down on power...probably clogged filters (they're 30k old) but I am doing a purge just in case to clean out the prechambers and such a little bit before I replace the filters. My car can still hit 113mph flat out, so its not "running poorly" or anything. Its interesting to hear how smooth it runs with the diesel purge too.

I've mentioned this previously in another thread.

It seems Marvel Mystery Oil run at full concentration will produce the same cleansing effect of Diesel Purge. Plus, it is far cheaper at 3.xx per qt.

Am I the only one who has tried this?

You've run mystery oil at full concentration? Can you do that? I'd be willing to try it....
