The 20oz are 2 for one (equiv $6.00 each) ... I know it's a popular fuel additive for many BMW owners!

Techron? It's probably one of the most widely used and recommended fuel additives right up there with RedLine and Lucas products.

STP or GumOut it "ain't"!

Thanks boss. Great deal. How often do you add this to your car?

For our driving patterns once a year seems fine. Generally I'll start with a full tank and the 20 gallon size (that's the one on sale now) when I expect to do a longer highway trip.

But if you have to run gasoline that's less than the "tier one" stuff http://en.wikipedia....ergent_Gasoline you might want to treat your gasoline more often.

That said, I personally don't feel that it is necessary to use a fuel additive more than 3x-4x a year. And NO additive will correct a mechanical problem - no matter how much the marketing department promotes it!

Here's another bit of info from Chevron http://www.chevron.com/products/techron/toptier.aspx
