Fri 03:15:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've personally tried Gumout Regane, Gumout Multi-System Tune Up, Royal Purple Max Clean, STP 5-in-1 Complete Fuel System Cleaner, and Lucas Deep Clean.
Fri 03:16:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ None of them had any effect on my gas mileage, on driveability issues, how rough or smooth the engine seemed to run afterwards, or that damned warm restart stall out.
Fri 03:16:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Techron improves gas mileage and seems to have gotten rid of that warm stall problem.
Fri 03:17:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But longer term I switched to Top Tier gasoline.
Fri 03:17:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has higher detergency so the system should stay clean instead of constantly having to use Techron to chase "supermarket gas".
Fri 03:19:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: Long Term it's cheaper to pay another 5 cents a gallon for the higher detergent gas, than it is to chase several tanks of bargain gas with a $13 bottle of Techron.
Fri 03:19:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "The chase is better than the catch!"
Fri 03:20:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Using Techron to chase deposits left by bargain gas completely negates the gas savings and more.
Fri 03:21:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The KIA Soul owner's manual stated if you don't use Top Tier, to use a bottle of Techron in the gas every 5,000 miles then run to nearly empty before refilling.
Fri 03:21:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ running nearly empty also doesn't sound very wise
Fri 03:21:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 5,000 miles on that car was roughly 185 gallons of fuel.
Fri 03:22:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So that makes each gallon 7 cents a gallon more anyway by the time you use the bottle of Techron.
Fri 03:23:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could have just used Top Tier gas to begin with and never had to think about the Techron.
Fri 03:23:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The EPA's minimum legal detergent level was not sufficient even in 1996.
Fri 03:23:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And it will cause major problems in modern engines.
Fri 03:24:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When the EPA issued a minimum legal standard, many gas station brands were already using more, and they decided to cut it to the minimum levels, and all these carbon buildup problems nobody had before started getting more common.
Fri 03:26:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Top Tier standard is an industry consortium that oil companies can sign onto. It was created because car manufacturers failed to get the government to raise the detergent requirements by law, and their cars were having problems in warranty caused by low detergency fuel that was legal to sell, but damaged cars.
