Where to get Seafoam?

I tried Autozone and Straus Auto and they don't carry Seafoam. Where can I buy this stuff?

Is it only sold on websites or can you buy it at a store?

Used to buy it at an Auto Value store, but now AutoZone has it so I buy it from there.

Nevermind I just picked it up at Napa for $5.50.

I just used it. Is this really supposed to help our cars? Did anyone notice anything after using it? idle? power? smoothness? mileage? Anything at all.

How did you use it? I fed it thru the intake manifold via a small vacuum hose, let it sit for 20 min, then watched the Spyhunter smokescreen, and afterwards noticed a much smoother idle and a consistent 1MPG gain in fuel economy. I've never dumped it in my gas tank or crankcase, I feel there are superior additives for that (Techron for the fuel tank, Amsoil engine flush for the crankcase).

Thats how i did it. I fed it slowly into the hose for the brake booster to the intake manifold.

I also got some Techron for the next time I fill up my gas tank. And the crankcase, I'm just not gonna do it because I heard some people have problems with that. I'm not willing to take the chance.
