Even though I usually try and put only Chevron gas in our car the gas gauge drops to empty every time I fill up. After about five miles it corrects its self and is fine until the next fill up. Every single time.

There are only a couple of Shell stations in my hometown currently and ONE Chevron. Texaco disappeared years ago and Vallero or something like that seems to have taken over every other pump in the city over the last year. I use the Shell for the quality and Techron every few months since I don't drive the Vette all that often.

Seeing as your a fellow Canuck.

What I find "weird" is that Canadian Tire does not carry Techron.
I was just on there web site.
They carry just about everything else !
