I had better luck with Amaco gas than Chevron over the past 10 years with all the turbocharged cars I own. They prided themselves on no detergents (and was the reason I stuck with them).

Techron is marketing hype. That extra 1mpg you get is from you driving differently. This "top tier" gas crap is pretty funny.

Good gas:
Amaco, Chevron, Shell, Exxon

Bad gas:
no-name gas, Citgo (f you Chavez!)

Thats all you need to know. Your vehicle won't notice the difference between any of those good fuels unless you're running a fat turbo and a lot of aftermarket electronics.

I can't agree that it's just marketing hype. Techron (Techroline) is endorsed by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), a group of professionals that, like Consumer Reports, doesn't take any advertising dollars.


I'll agree with you here, on both counts, but BP/Amoco, price-wise, seems to be a rip-off, at least in my area.

We don't have BP in California.
