I put 1.5 bottles of Techron concentrate in my car according to the label and I’m getting better mileage out of my car. I’m 100% sure I’m getting more distance because I take the same trip from South MS to Mobile, AL everyday. I usually get two full trips then the needle being between the E and the quarter line. But with Techron in the tank, after two round trips the needle is at the quarter line. This has happened both times I’ve used Techron.
But once I fill up with regular fuel, the mileage goes back to normal. So we all know there’s nothing that can just give you an extra 30 miles out of a full tank, not permanently at least. Do you think due to the volatile and combustible nature of Techron, the O2 sensors read rich when it isn’t rich and dials it back, so you’re actually running lean, giving you a few more MPG? And the manufacturers know this and will claim better MPGs with their products. Sounds weird but it’s just an observation and assumption. What do you guys think?
