for you maybe, i noticed a difference. Placebo effect or not. 
Let me post this again, I think it was missed:
"I'm hesitant to say that the product is snake oil, as there small amounts of naptha and alcohol that do have solvency properites. However, the concentrations and the methods of use do not support these colorful claims of back yard mechanics. That is the most infromation you will ever get on the effectiveness of product, a bunch of good ol' boy testimonials of 'better throttle response, improved idle, etc.' Given the product's popularity, it is by no accident that there isn't a single data point, picture, etc. that supports 'mah engine is moar clean and it idles better'. Ultimately, the product is nothing more than an exercise in doing-something-to-my-car with a contagious placebo effect."

call it garbage, idc, i used it, ONCE, and noticed a cleaner feeling car, and that was 20k miles ago, and i have no problems what-so-ever with my 2k.
I do believe its a "make your self feel better about your car" item, but at the time, i liked it.
