Techron 20 OZ
I just ordered up this, Chevron 65740-CASE Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner - 20 oz., (Pack of 6) for $41.66 and free shipping. I have Amazon Prime and there was a $12.00 off coupon attached. I don't know if the coupon works for non prime but check it out in case. That's less than $7.00 each for 20 oz.

That's a really good price on 6 bottles of Techron.

I'm not sure but I believe it's 10oz? But Walmart sells it for $3.46 a bottle. I don't know how true this is, however a friend of mine who works for a pertrolium company (know his fuels) told me that if you run Chevron gas, it has Techron in it and you don't need the suppliment. I only run Chevron Premium in my car.

Here is an answer from Chevron:
"Thank you for your inquiry. It has been forwarded to us here at Chevron
Fuels Technical Service.
The ProGard and Techron products contain the same chemical additive.
There is but one grade of the Techron product, while there are four
grades of Pro-Gard. The Pro-Gard products are "Clean-up", "Fuel Injector
Cleaner", "Fuel Injector Plus Intake Valve Cleaner", and "Gas
Treatment".
The ProGard products give lower, less effective concentrations. These
lower-concentration packages often sell for less. They have less "keep
clean" and "cleanup" properties. They are also not concentrated enough
to clean combustion chamber deposits. There are only subtle differences
amongst the Pro-Gard products, mostly having to do with concentration.
Techron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner is the most concentrated and
will clean combustion chamber deposits. There is approximately 100% more
active ingredient in the Techron Concentrate than the Pro-Gard Fuel
Injector Cleaner. The active ingredient is Poly Ether Amine with a
solvent carrier.
A bottle of Techron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner, when added to
gasoline according to the label instructions, results in an additive
concentration roughly 10 times stronger than the dose in Chevron
gasolines.
If you always used Chevron gasolines, you should be getting enough of a
dose of Techron such that you should not have to purchase the
Concentrate. "
Note; Shell and all other Top Tier gasolines contain Techron's active ingredient, PEA

Can only use the coupon one time.

Interesting... that would seem to imply that if you run only top tier fuel then Techron *shouldn't* be necessary. I wonder why it's so prevalent. I can't believe that many are putting "El Cheapo" gas in their Vettes....

Since I had the computer fix (reflash) for the gas gauge problem done years back, I have never had a gauge issue. Prior to that, regular "crash to zero" issues, Techron or no Techron.
If you want to buy Techron, Costco's sale prices can't be beat - they sell it by the 6 pack. Often goes on sale when they have a Mobil 1 sale.

My '98 runs on either Costco (top tier) or discount supermarket gas (tier, what's a tier??).
