One bottle treats up to 20 gals, so I use about half the bottle every fill up.

Are your new pads the same brand and type as your old set? Just thinking about the bedding in off the new rotors...

I sell it for 10 a bottle.

I use Redline and it does provide a noticeable bump, though I tend to use it only once or twice a year. Put it in when the tank is almost empty and run it like that for a while then fill up over it, usually before a long drive. On my last trip I got right around 30mpg in the FXT, which was unheard of in my WRX. It usually sells for $12, but I managed to pick it up for $9 a few weeks ago; too bad they didn't have more.

Nope, had Axxis Ultimates switching to Porterfield R4S. Car hasn't moved from the garage since I put the rotors on, new pads should be here tomorrow.

Sup PROcede, I checked the logs, the FBK didn't happen on the pulls, was doing a cruise data log before hand and looks like it happened on a shift. Looking good so far though. I'm not getting any stumbles either so far, per his requirement - I replaced the stock damper / fuel pressure regulator setup.
