Exhaust from any internal combustion engine is bad. Don't sniff any of it.
You wouldn't be running a mix of it in the fuel tho, right? Just a periodic application?
Why not? If a little is good, more must be better?
My car seemed to run smoother after using prolong though...
My truck runs better after a tune up too. But, if an oil additive makes it run better, maybe you are running the wrong oil to begin with for the current wear of the engine. Typically, a high mileage engine will run smoother with thicker oil. The side benefits to this include less $ since you are not adding the additive, the oil will not clog the filter nor turn into a jellified mess like Teflon will AND it's always present in the engine in the proper quantity!
Hmm...Maybe use a "disposeable" used plug for the application, then switch to a good plug. Might be worth a shot?! Tach it before and after...
Before and after tach readings do not give a valid picture of what's really happening inside your engine. Ever hear the term "It always runs strongest just before it blows up"?
