Default Multiple Fuel Treatments?

My '98 Civic was having a tough time starting after it had been sitting for a while/overnight. I ran a bottle of Chevron Techron and its been starting up so much better and I gained 2MPG.
I was talking to a guy that I know who works on cars and he told me to run a bottle of Lucas Fuel Treatment. It is really necessary for me to run the Lucas stuff right after running the Techron? Will I see any more improvements?

It's alright...You can put Lucas in there as well with the other gas treatment just as long as it's not too diluted with the treatments. Just fill'er up & put a small bottle of Lucas in, Now..you won't see the real improvements(more MPG & smoother acceleration) the first day you drive your car but the day after you'll feel it.

I have been using STP gas treatment, STP gas & injector cleaner, Gumout gas & injector cleaner since I got my 92 Civic last year..they're good but not great like Luca....I just got a bottle of Lucas last weekend & it runs real smooth PLUS I just went over 100 miles(mile-o-meter) & my gas needle is just getting off the "full" mark.

I can't wait to till my next fill-up so I can see how much my MPG improved.

Maybe I'll give the Lucas stuff a try, it can't hurt to right? Thanks for the info.

Well, I ran a bottle of Lucas Fuel Treatment and I have no clue if it did anything. I get my gas at the same gas station every time time I fill up, the weather has been about the same the past month or so and I've been driving with the same style lately. Even with this, my MPG have been all over the place.
