Default Free Techron

In case you haven't heard, AutoZone has a great deal going on Techron. 12oz. bottle for $5.99 (limit 2) with a rebate that gives you back the $5.99 for each bottle. All you pay (after rebate) is tax. This was advertised in last Sundays paper in the mid south. I went to the local AutoZone that day and they were stocked and ready with rebate coupons.

I'll have to check my local AutoZone. Probably about time I run a bottle through the tank.

Is Techron a fuel additive or octane booster?

Thanks,

Mark

Techron is one of the few fuel additives (read: injector/valve cleaner) that actually works.

Is there any proof that techron really works? I have my doubts, it could be mostly in your head.

It helps with the sticky fuel gauge issue. The local adds here in Detroit state the rebate offer is good through July 27th.

Default What a deal!

Just now returned from AutoZone to pick up a couple of bottles of Techron while the AutoZone rebate is on. The 2 bottles I picked up also had a rebate from Techron good until Sept 1, 2005 for a $2.00 mail in rebate with purchase receipts for gasoline with a limit of 2 rebates per household. So not only can you get the rebate from AutoZone, but you can also get up to an additional $4.00 back from Techron if you purchase bottles with the Techron rebate forms attached. The Techron rebate requires that you send in the original purchase receipts. For the Autozone rebate you can send in photocopies so save your original purchase receipts for the Techron rebate.
