Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 9, 2011, 4:45 AM Post #3 of 3 (1132 views) Re: POOR MILLAGE Sign In Note on fuel additives: They should mostly be avoided and finding just 3 plugs fouled isn't additives. If anything for prevention I do like and use Chevron's Techron fuel treatment but less than half of what bottle says and only now and then. Bad habit but can't help it, my own driving is frequently slow and short trips for what I need to do. Don't believe the wild claims of additives for much of anything.
