I sort of understand the fuel additive, as the formulation varies from region to region and different parts of the world and different times of year, although a lot of fuel additives have been shown to be worthless.
The power steering additive has me puzzled - what benefit do they claim it provides?
Same question for auto transmission additive - what benefit do they claim it provides?
In the early US we had tonic and "snake oil" salesmen that traveled from town to town selling stuff to cure peoples aches and pains. Whatever it was, real or imagined, these guys had something to cure it. Always thinking of ways to separate people from their money. Car dealers are sort of like snake oil salesmen - they have all sorts of tonics for your oils and and nitrogen for your tires. Oh, and did I mention was have tar for your car's underbelly and teflon for your seats?
