    fuel side tune up???

    1st time going to this dealer they recomended I get a fuel side tune up for 360 dollars. Rep told me it would increase my gas millage but i suspect hes full of himself cause i get the expected gas millage already. Does anyone know what this is? I didnt see anything in a search so im wondering if this isnt some knew thing my dealer is starting becasuse of gas prices.

    well if your car isn't feeling sluggish, and your getting fine gas milage. Then no, there is no need

    A fuel side tune up? People really need to stop going to the dealer for every little stupid thing and then posting about it. We call it the stealership for a reason. Don't be so paranoid if your getting expected values.

    f**k that dealer, $360 to clean your fuel lines? get a can of bg44k ($15), add it to a half-full tank of gas, that should do some good cleaning. repeat once a year or before every other oil change.
