I use Techron when I change oil,about 7500/1year. I talked to the people at Techron and they claim that you don't have to use it all up in one trip. It is ok to burn up the tank over a period of time. Just my 2 cts.

For most people in the states, if you fill up at a station like Chevron, it will have the techroline additive in the fuel mix and you shouldn't have to add the additives.
Oh yeah...and STAY AWAY from octane boosters!! Just don't DO IT!!

Chevron puts the additive in their gas. I've also heard that Union 76 puts a similar additive in their gas, but it is not as well advertised as the Techron product that Chevron uses.

This works for me where the only choices of gas seems to be those with a high sulphur content. I add 12 ounces every three months.
