Unless you're talking about putting it in a carbed non emissions sensitive vehicle then go for it.....but in these trucks it can cause more harm than good.....

Not sure where you are at, could it be caused by summer blend gas? Or winter blend if they switched already.

Of course, we should all just assume he meant to call himself "Blue Oval Boy". To call himself an "Ovel" would just be awkward:

ovel [ˈɒvəl], n (Non-Christian Religions / Judaism) Judaism a mourner, esp during the first seven days after a death See also shivah, [from Hebrew]
