The only thing I use in mine is Techron about twice a year. Just keeps the sending units clean.

Chevron...please send a freebee case my way
There seems to be a lot of threads lately about Techron. I thought the consensus was that fuel additives should generally be avoided unless an extreme condition warranted the use.
Is the use of Techron suggested due to special Corvette conditions? Dual tanks, etc.? I've never used any fuel additive in my 2004 (or any of my other vehicles), and have not noticed any decrease in performance, etc. What are the benefits?

The label reads..."Use of lower-quality gasolines can result in the formation of harmful deposits, which may cause loss of power, poor fuel economy, hesitation, knocking/pinging, and higher exhaust emissions. Techron Cencentrate Plus, with it's exclusive synthetic formula, is a proven solution for engines suffering from harmful deposit build-up.
Its use can help ...
Additionally, regular use of Techron concentrated Plus helps:
~ Clean and restore operation of sulfer-contaminated fuel gauge sensors.
~ Prevent corrosive sulfer deposits from attacking fuel gauge sensors.
~ Protect against corrosion by coating all metallic surfaces of the fuel system. This protection has been shown to last for thousands of miles.
Directions: Pour... into nearly empty tank and refuel with up to 15 gallons of gasoline..."
btw: Techron has the Chevron label
