Cool Chevron Gasoline & Fuel System Cleaner?

Hi everyone,

I will be traveling to Florida for a couple weeks on vacation & taking my ES for the trip. I have some questions regarding Chevron gasoline & their Techron Concentrate fuel system cleaner . When I travel to the U.S. I usually use Sunoco, Mobil or Citgo fuel, but I have heard very good things about Chevron gasoline & am very fussy about what fuel & fuel system cleaners I put in my car. My questions are:

- What's the highest octane of Chevron premium fuel (92, 93?)

- If you use Chevron fuel system cleaner, how often do you use it (every oil change, 6 months?) & do you notice a significant difference in your cars performance or is it a waste of money? Please elaborate & be specific.

- Is the fuel system cleaner only available at Chevron gas stations or can I buy it at a department store or auto parts store chain? and how much (roughly) is a bottle? & how many gallons of fuel does a bottle treat?

Any help & / or advice on the subject is very much appreciated.

I am from NJ, and I never see Chevron Stations. I use Wawa gas because the price is excellent. I do use Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner, I get it from Pep Boys, and the bigger bottle is around $6 dollars. How many gallons it treats I do not know, but throw in a big bottle right before you fill your tank and you'll be good to go! (BTW Chevron IS the best cleaner.)

I appreciate the info! I've heard that the Chevron Fuel System Cleaner is the best.

I'm from washington and highest octane rating is 92 from chevron. The cheveron gasses all have techron in them no matter which octane gas you choose. As far as the fuel injection cleaner that you were asking for... i think it was about 4-6 dollars per bottle. I think my last bottle was about 4.50
