NONE are best!

Without going into extensive detail here's what you need to know about aftermarket oil additives: There are basically two types of additives used, either Teflon based with PTFE (like Slick 50) or Chlorinated based (like Dura Lube) with some type of carrier, usually a paraffin based carrier or other mineral oil. Some have extremely large amounts of Moly, Zinc or Phosphorus, all extreme pressure agents which are detrimental to a motor oils proper function in the amount that they use. Teflon does absolutely nothing inside your engine. Teflon must be heated up to about 800 deg. F to get it to stick to anything for friction reducing purposes, just like the Teflon on a frying pan, yet in your engine all those suspended microscopic colloidal Teflon particles do is gradually attach to you oil pick-up screen and reduce oil flow to your critical components as well as reducing the oil flow in other critical internal engine passages by attaching themselves to the passageway walls. In addition, as your oil filter filters out some of these suspended Teflon particles, your filter flow rate will be reduced which may eventually become restricted and default in to by-pass mode, which means unfiltered oil will be flowing through your engine. Ever get bleach on your fingers? It's pretty slippery isn't it? Same principle here. Add enough Chlorinated components to a carrier and mix it with some type of Teflon, Moly, Zinc or Phosphorus & you can reduce the friction, except for one "minor" thing: Chlorinated additives mixed with oil and subjected to heat forms hydrochloric acid! Hydrochloric acid is extremely detrimental to you internal engine parts. Get the picture? That's it in a nutshell. Bottom line is: When using a properly formulated motor oil you do not need any additives whatsoever and additionally, the additives you may put in can react negatively with the additives the oil company carefully blended in. Do yourself a favor and stay away from aftermarket oiladditives, regardless of how appealing the bogus claims they make in their advertising are!

Also, a four door sedan will cost less than a similar model two door coupe. The reason sedans cost less to insure may be due to the fact that the drivers of them are usually more conservative. For example, these drivers may be more mature or just more cautious because they have family members they want to keep safe.

The more horsepower a car has cause the insurance price to increase. Cars that are driven for performance and that are a hot item for young people that like to race them will also be more expensive due to the higher probability of causing accidents.

Other things that help keep the price of insurance down are the safety features of a car such as crash tests, air bags, and injury claims. Cars such as Volvos that are safer will have have a reduction in the cost.

Actually, sports cars are the most expensive to insure. But insurance is really not on the vehicle except for those that the bank owns(financed) and the bank needs to know that if something happens to the car, they will get their money.

But it is the DRIVER who is insured against any liability. The worse your driving record, the higher the insurance.

The insurers may use any combination of many factors to rate an insured risk. Available factors may be your Driving History or Lack thereof, Credit Scoring, category loss historical and current averages, neighborhood thefts etc. etc. It's the driver as well as the car you drive, of course.

For Liability only, it depends mostly on the driver an possibly a little bit on how much damage the car could do. (motorcycles cheap, SUV's expensive)

For Full Coverage it is a combination of how much it usually cost to repair it and how likely it might have an accident or other covered loss.

Cadillacs are expensive to repair, Fords are inexpensive.

Volvos are driven responsibly, Mustangs are always getting into wrecks.

The cheapest vehicle to insure will be a sensible, affordable, small sedan with the most safety features and the cheapest engine, trim, features etc..

hope it helps.
