How's the car running with the Techron + MMO mix?

I'm now using maintenance dose of Redline S-1 and Techron mix.

The bottom line is that MMO has NO place in the gas tank (or crankcase) of a post 60s vehicle.
Not to say that even a car from the 60s should bother with it either. Just that it is less likely to damage sensors and other modern emissions and fuel system controls since those controls were almost non existent before the early 70s.

I heard a lot of rumors of products like MMO ruining cats and O2 sensors but I've yet to run into a problem like that. I have well over 210K miles on the original CC and 02 sensor in my 93 Aerostar. That vehicle used MMO in the gas since about 50K miles. I recently stopped using it, since it will be seeing the junk yard shortly if things work out.
My 88 E-150 used it all its life, either via an Inverse oiler or in the gas, many times both ways. Still the original CC in that vehicle too. My 85 E-150 had MMO dosing via an Inverse Oiler for well over 150K miles, original CC and 02 Sensor. Honestly I wouldn't worry much about a 400:1 mix of MMO in the gas, or even a slightly higher dose. I've been using it in my 08 Liberty too, since 300 miles, it runs like a champ.
My wifes Lexus doesn't like MMO in the gas tank. It always throws a CEL anytime I have properly dosed the gas(8oz/20gal). I won't use it anymore in her car.
