I read somewhere that sugar can improve your MPG. So I put in a cup of sugar this morning. The drive to work seemed a little choppy. Anyone try this before?

According to this article, sugar is being considered as a source of hydrogen for fuel cell equipped vehicles.

It seems Creo missed a few steps, though.

It is a bit of a stretch to consider your gas tank a "fuel cell".:doh: Watching a little too much Emmett Brown/Back to the future, I'd say.
You're actually admitting this?:doh:

Sugar? No, diesel gets better mileage, so try putting diesel in your gas engine!

There's a thought, just regular sugar could have saved the government millions during the CFC program. Who needs their special silicate mix when you can go in the break room and grab a couple packets of sugar?
Have you caramelized your intake lately?

Will we ever see Creo again. Although some of the responses have been of the WTF variety I hope he comes back and that his system is flushed before a couple of hundred dollar mistake becomes a couple of thousand dollar mistake.

survived... later that day I took it to the dealer and had everything flushed. That's the last time I take advice from forums. I dont know engines and never heard about this before. The funny thing is the Pat is running a lot better then before the mix up. I told my dealer that someone must have poored sugar in it (not going to admit it was me lol) ...they must have felt really bad about my luck and replaced what was needed for free... also gave me a lock cap lol. Even gave me a deal on a blu-tooth rearview ($50!)
I will have to try draino now... see what they give me

No one will replace your parts for free just because someone screwed up your Patriot. Either you pay or your insurance will do it.
You're kidding us.

Don't go sour on all advice from forums. Just throw it out there on several different forums BEFORE you do it and get more opinions first.survived... later that day I took it to the dealer and had everything flushed.

I doubt luck had anything to do with it, nor do I want to hear anything bad about dealers. I think mine is good, but I can't imagine them doing this for me. :icon_rolleyes: Now tell us what REALLY happened.
