All grades of Chevron gas have Techron in it. So just stick with Chevron and you are okay.

Good if you can get it! Many areas do not have that option. Most large auto parts stores sell the additive.

I use it at each oil change.

Right now Auto Zone has the 12 oz bottles with a $5.99 rebate (the cost of the Techron). Limit two to family/address. A good deal, I stopped and picked up two bottles tonight.

I thought that too and Chevron premium is all I have ever put in my car. However, I recently started to get erratic behavior from my gas gauge. Two bottles of Techron fixed it. From this, I have come to believe that occasional booster treatments have benefit.
