Default fuel additives

Anybody use additives along with top tier fuel? I had been getting 93 octane gas, not top tier though, at a local grocery store gas station for several years now. Noticed a slight hesitation lately but no codes. I decided to try ZMax additive. Just like a commercial, the hesitation disappeared and mileage went back up.


I looked up the local stations that sold the top tier stuff and will try to get gas there from now on. Is it still worth it to put some additive in once in awhile?

Some do some dont views are probably split on this... If you do most people use Techron/Chevron black bottle. I've used it once or twice didnt hurt anything.
