I have a 03 and use Techron but was wondering if that year had the notorious fuel gauge problem.

Thanks for the heads up (no pun intended) on the techron. The wife and I just got back from dinner at the local 99 rest, and there is a AA right next door, so on the way out i picked up 2 f/$12.99

Is there enough Techron in Chevron's Premium fuel to not need to add more. Ever heard of anybody having fuel gauge problems while running Chevron Premium exclusively?
