Here is a $5 rebate form on this new product. It appears it can be used anywhere.

New additive from Chevron

Other than falconguy, has anyone seen it in a retail location? If so, what establishment and where geographically?
I've looked in Autozone, Pep Boys, and Advance Auto to no avail. I did find a site for this product, however. http://www.chevron.com/products/purescape/
The link to retailers on Chevron's site doesn't work. I guess that's one way to keep rebate redemption`s at a minimum.
I guess the real question is...what if you and your car get "hooked" on this stuff....
One bottle will only treat 20 gallon, and it's $5.99 + tax per bottle...

I paid $7.99 just to get the rebate. I doubt I'll be doing it again.

Im a chemical engineer, and I concur fully.
'catalyst' can be used loosely to include something like this which theoretically helps the reaction along... Id typically just call it a consumable additive.

me:
A small local chain VIP in northern New England carries it. The price is $6.99 at their stores.
At that price, I doubt this is cost effective. Thinking ahead to next week when gas will be $3.50 a gallon and to keep the math simple, I will need an 11% increase in mileage (3 mpg) to break even. I'm thinking it might be very good for someone who has a car might not pass an emissions test. Time will tell on this one.

The above article mentioned that PureEscape is patented, that means the patented portion of the chemistry is exposed to the public.
Link worked for me. In my area it shows Pep Boys as the only retailer.
The cost adds about 30 cents per gallon to your fuel cost. I'll try it.

I recently tried PureEscape, after learning about it, and the rebate, on this board. There was a barely perceptible improvement in engine smoothness. It was so small I’m not sure I could credit this product. I might have just gotten a good tank of gas or it might have just been my imagination.
I have a second bottle that I will probably try this weekend (the rebate was good for two bottles).
Based on my first bottle, I’m glad I got the rebate. I don’t think I’m willing to pay full price for this in the future. In fact, I’m not even sure I’d buy it again with a rebate.

I have to agree with kang on this one. I tried a bottle in my Volvo several weeks ago. The only difference I noticed was a reduction in engine knock while going uphill w/ the AC on. Never again(at least w/o the rebate
).
I just bought a bottle of this stuff, chevron pureEscape. my neon has a 11 gallon capicty so i poured about 6 oz. in. one bottle (12 oz.) treats up to 20 gallons. I used shell 87 gas. car is a 1995 neon. Ive noticed somewhat smoother idle, but no fuel/gas savings. Its an interesting product, but thiers much better out thier, like FP60 of Lucas UCL! Both of those items gave my engin a REALLY smoother ride
I believe that is because they are still working out a matter of semantics with the PUR water filter company. Their version of "PurEscape" is water!
