Premium gas,,and an occasional bottle of Chevron Techron every now and then. Depends a lot on how much you drive it. I throw one in 3 or 4 times a year. Helps prevent the dreaded gas gauge syndrome!! Other than that none are necessary. Top tier rated gas is a good idea too!

StarTron as a fuel stabilizer. Works better than Stabil.

I've had really good luck with Lucus products. The fuel additive works great for me. I notice about a mile per gallon or more at fill up. I've used it with every car I've owned with great success. Turbo cars, little beaters... my vette... never had a negative thing happen. Just more power and better fuel mileage.

I use a 20oz can of Chevron Techron concentrate every 5000 miles. Also use a can of Sea Foam once a year.
