   I've used gumout in my engine for about 4 years now.  I have a 2002 Yukon,   
   never failed smog, spark plugs also seem to have very little build up on them   
   at all when changed.  After a using the product for a while I can tell the   
   difference with my fuel    
   economy it seemed slight better and no engine ticking, could be due to putting   
   a few ounces in the oil.  I have never had any engine problems since using   
   this product.
