Has anyone ever used ZMAX

I saw this stuff on TV and decided to try it out. I poured the clear solution into the transmission, engine, and fuel. My engine ran a lot smoother. My car was not any faster, but I got more mpg from 19 to 25 city. I had a compression check before I added ZMAX and the mechanic said it was low. A year after I added ZMAX, I had the compression checked again and the mechanic said it was fine. That's just my 2 cents about it.

No BS. I may be exagerating a little bit, but the stuff does help to make your engine run better. I did have some minor engine repairs done like vacuum hoses, and seals, but no internal work. I'm just saying that the stuff helps.

Oh and the compression was low in just one cylinder, not all of them.
