Default Hot shots secret stiction eliminator

Ok guys and gals, I have just about worn GOOGLE out by searching for good information concerning using HOT SHOTS SECRET STICTION ELIMINATOR in a gas engine truck..... I KNOW there are tons of info for using this stuff in diesels BUT I am wanting to know if anyone has used this in a gas F150. A close buddy just used this in his 94 Explorer and he "swears" it helped... He was having slow throttle response, not great gas mileage and a slight "knocking".. ok great for him...

Now to my issues.
I am only getting about 11mpg on the interstate.. (I am running 35's but I keep seeing guys on here saying they are getting 14 and 15 mpgs on the interstate.. Are they full of ***** or what? Now my issues are the above 11 mpg, loud injectors and sluggish throttle response...... I have changed my plugs and packs at 80k (plugs looked great), I run good gas, I use RP 5w20 and all other fluids and normal maintenance are very much up to par. Has anyone used HOT SHOTS SECRET STICTION ELIMINATOR and does anyone think it will help?

pre-thanks in advance

Air filter, fuel filter? Depending on speed, your 11mpg is on par. I get 15-ish on a 33" tire with cruise at 73 across Wisconsin

My 07 F150 SuperCrew 2wd gets an average of 18mpg's (hand calculated) on my weekly commute. I average 60 mph on my 44 mile roundtrip commute. Edge converted to Gryphon, true dual exhaust, gotts mod with AEM dryflow, fresh plugs, COP's and transmission service.

What is it? I know I have seen it on Truck U, but never really paid attention. Do you dump it in your gastank?

I guess I just don't get what it would do for you, dumping it in your oil in a gas engine.

A simple search with google would tell you about the product...

^^^ Well apparently a "simple Google search" didn't help the OP.

OP (BIGDAWG78) knew what it was and was asking if it's alright for gas engines; powerranger262 was whom this was directed at. He seemed to not know about the stuff.
