I've only used it in my cars if they have sat around a while without being used.....it's also not a bad idea if you only drive it on the weekends and keep the tank low on gas.
otherwise, I wouldn't.

I don't use the stuff regularly, but our cars don't often sit around unused...

If you've been driving it for a month you've probably burned up the gas that was sitting. But it shouldn't hurt to use that stuff.

No, just let it warm up when you start it.

I wasn't telling him to leave the tank nearly empty
I was saying if he doesn't have a full tank and doesn't use it often, then it would be a good idea to use the drygas.

yes, this is the main purpose, but it is a multi-purpose product

It happens......haha, no problem

yeah it's good for it's specific purpose of restoring gas, but for other purposes, you are better off going with a fuel injector cleaner like jimblake said above.
