Reference-Level Detail, Depth, Soundstaging, Balance, and Presence: Communique Has Never Sounded Better Than on Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP Version. Mark Knopfler's Mesmerizing Textures, Intricate Lines, and Crisp Tones Pair With Engaging Storytelling and Tight Rhythms: Every Song an Example of Understated Virtuosity. The performances on Dire Straits' Communique are so smooth and effortless, they were originally criticized for replicating the blueprints of the band's breakout debut. Time, however, has a way of changing perspectives and exposing the truth. More than 35 years after it's original release in June 1979, Communique rightfully takes it's place as the group's most underrated record - a nine-track set spiked with engaging storytelling, relaxed vibes, and deceiving simplicity. Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Communique elevates Dire Straits' sophomore album to an even higher plane. Recorded in the Bahamas by Muscle Shoals veterans Barry Beckett and Jerry Wexler, the songs benefit from a laidback approach that makes guitarist/vocalist Mark Knopfler and company's stellar playing seem even more fluent - particularly when experienced on this collector's 45RPM version, on which the wider grooves allow for more detail retrieval and deeper musical insight. Knopfler's mesmerizing guitar textures and composed vocals appear as if they're right in front of you, holding court amidst expansive soundstages and deep-black backgrounds. Details, imaging, and presence are on a level associated with the finest audiophile recordings. You'll be hard-pressed to find another LP with cleaner, pinpoint-accurate tones. Mobile Fidelity's LP also brings into transparent view Knopfler's seemingly perfect intricate lines as well as the simpatico accompaniment from his band mates. Whole, lively, and balanced, the bass and drums arrive with a solidity rarely heard on albums of this era. Communique has truly never sounded better. Of course, the audiophile sonics mean little if the artistic content is lacking. Needless to say, Dire Straits' technical perfectionism and creative elan prevail throughout. Knopfler's penchant for sketching cynical characters is further developed on moody tracks like 'Where Do You Think You're Going' and 'News,' while Wexler's presence at the boards ensures the band keeps the rhythms extra tight. The quartet's low-key blues and swampy, Southern-styled grooves turn every song into an exercise in understated virtuosity. Refusing to give into excess, magnetic tunes such as 'Lady Writer' and 'Angel of Mercy' split a fine line between insinuating and insisting. The group shows off a combination of control, virtuosity, and tunefulness that harkens back to a rock n' roll's classic period while also pointing the way ahead. Need indisputable evidence of Dire Straits' compositional strengths? Cue up the closing 'Follow Me Home' on this pressing and get lost amidst the peacefulness of the gentle surf and chirping crickets that frame the song. Heavenly.

This stuff really works fast and improves mpg like you won’t believe
Size: 300 Milliliter
I’ve tried many other types of fuel injector cleaners but this brand is amazing. I ran my truck down to less than a quarter of a tank of gas and poured it into the tank. I then drove 30 miles to an appointment and spent an hour in the appointment on the way home I noticed my mpg had gone up significantly. My truck tells me how many miles per gallon. I’m getting as I drive. I had gotten a code and I replaced the mass air filter and found a slight crack in an air hose, which I replaced that help with my code a little bit, but cleaning the fuel injectors with this product made such a significant difference. I just simply had a hard time believing it, but it’s true.
I’m done with all those other brands of fuel injector cleaners which never really seemed to help much if you really want an amazing experience give this product to try.

It fit perfect in my grandson's 2013 Subaru Outback. It went right in with no problem. And you can't beat the price. Will definitely purchase again.
