Techron concentrate results

When I took my C43 in for the B service I asked if they would do the BG engine/fuel system cleaning and they told me they don't do it on the AMG's anymore as it was causing rapid degrading of the fuel injectors, the SW suggested I try some techron concentrate instead. I have ran 1 bottle of the concentrate through (cost $7) and have noticed a difference immediately. Not only does my car seem to pull a little harder but I am getting better gas mileage without changing my driving habits. I like to manually shift through my gears as well as having a lead foot and I was getting an average of 290 miles on 1 tank of gas. I could get more miles per tank but I usually fill up when the reserve light comes on so I don't suck up any crud in the tank. I am not even at 1/2 of a tank right now and have gone 160 miles, usually I would be at around 140-160 miles at the 1/2 tank mark. I will post how many miles I get of off a full tank but it wont be for a while as I leave for Ohio tomorrow and won't be back for a week. Give it a try and post your results, I am interested to see if anyone else gets similar results.

I guess same **** happens with STP Injector trim?
Your einspritz is getting clogged over time like cholesterol in your vains!
same crap happens to our cars.
when you put some injector cleaner or trim your car will perform better.
But that depends on how much gas you have in your tank.
1 bottle STP is for 50 or 60 litres of gas, can't remember?
So you will get better and stronger clean up if you have half the tank with this miracle fluid.
Same crap additives are already in the gas supplied from the gas raffinery

I bought the bottle that was made for 20 gallons and I filled up with 14.5 gallons so it got a little more concentrated I would imagine.

I am at 175 miles and I am JUST above 1/2 a tank which would mean I am getting about 2 mpg more than what I was. Nothing significant but again it was only a $7 investment to get 2 mpg more which should net me around 30 extra miles per tank which comes out to be about $6-$7 so I am getting my return after 1 tank of gas

I added it to my car, but didn't notice any difference. I have a high mileage vehicle as well. I will continue to use it though.
