What exactly do you guys use techron for?


My dad is a safety engineer at ExxonMobil and he says additives are only needed if you use low-quality gasoline as they have worse additive packages and aren't refined to the same high standards as some like shell and exxon
Cheap insurance. It's the only gas additive that is actually recommended by many car companies. BMW & VW sell Techron under their own name "Autobahn". I've also read Ford recommends it. Works for me. In case you don't know, although the price we pay for gasoline keeps going up, the quality keeps going down.

Chevron Techtron.http://www.chevron.com/products/prod...techback.shtml ..It's a very popular fuel system cleaner. It got its fame mostly b/c people found out when they paid top dollar to a shop to "clean their fuel injectors" and such, the shop was merely putting this stuff in to the tank. It took off as poeple figured that if it was good enough for the dealers and local shops it was good enough for them.
