I'm not too big of a fan of STP products. The STP shouldn't harm it from my experience and I've used it many times before, its just not my favorite. I prefer Lucas products and 44k. When I first bought my 1999 s70 I tried a can of 44k before a long road trip and it made such a difference, well worth the 20 bucks it costs. If you think that is too much, try the Lucas cleaners, they still work wonders at a better price. If you want to increase your gas millage a little more, you could also add an anti friction/compression oil additive, Lubro Molly products are the best in that department in my opinion. I always use a fuel system cleaner before a long road trip and every oil change I put a Lubro Molly MoS2 anti-friction engine treatment and my 210,000 km engine runs beautifully.
