My GLK gas mileage is not very good at 15 to 21. Zmax supposedly increases fuel mikeage. Anyone give it a try?

15-21 seems normal for this type of a car. I get about 18mpg on average. Have no idea what zmax is, but I'm putting BP Ultimate and nothing else.

Don't use any of those additives, they can cause damage and provide no good...I would slightly change your driving habits, make sure tires are properly inflated etc...

this is a great website for reference

Look around and see if anyone offers a aftermarket intake....or swap your filters for K&N's.

This is an SUV after all, albeit a small SUV with full time all wheel drive - most in this forum didn't buy the GLK for good fuel economy

If that's your only complaint, you are in good shape...enjoy it!

yeah I wouldn't add it...in the latest the star magazine (mercedes benz club of america magazine) they recommend that you do not add any additives like that to your engine.
