    Fabric softener because with the high cost of gazoline in Canada it's probably cheaper to fill my tank with just additives.

    I don't use fabric softener. However, in an effort to prevent winter motor fuel problems, I use cold weather fuel additives. When that temp. gets below 0, I want my car to run, or I could freeze to death out on the road.

    What is the benefit of additives?  I have never used them except in my windshield solution.  One winter I made the mistake of turning on my wipers to "clean" the windows in the middle of winter.  Immediately the solution froze and I was unable to see out of the windows.  I was unaware that gas freezes as well.

    It depends on what "additive" we're talking about.
    There are different ones, that do different things.
    I keep seeing some that claim to "clean your engine".  I guess you'd have to dismantle your engine ... or run a camera probe ... to see if they actually work.

    Fabric softener is not a rip off.  It helps maintain your clothing and makes them smell good. 

    I do not know enough about fuel additives to know if they are a rip off or not.  

    But for this question, I will go with fuel additives. I have never needed them.
