It's okay.

Nowhere near the best out there, but it does the job it's meant to.

If you want the top stuff, Forte all the way.

How does forte work do you just put it in your fuel tank and then fill up with petrol as normal? Thinking about getting some just to see if I can get my mpg up a bit

That's good I was getting 32.8 at 80 yesterday on the way home from birmingham on motorways because private roads aren't how I roll.

Do you need to fill the tank to use it then or just put it in when you put any petrol in?

add it before filling up.
drive to the petrol station, and before you go in there stop and poor the cleaner in, then go and fill up. or just do it in the petrol station.

i use redex often myself, infact asda are selling 100% extra free, they got 500ml bottles for £3 at the moment, that should be enough to treat the car four times.
