So my point being ? Why buy more?

I honestly don't know if the additive is added to the fuel in germany like it is here.
Im not familair with the techron concentrate so i will have to do my due diligence and read up on it.

Ive made this argument before and will say it again... Gas is gas man. Dont waster your money.

Every tank in my E55 is done at Racetrac.............GASP!
Correct Sir! The gasoline comes from various refineries such as Velero and then the various additives are blended by the different companies. I try to use fuels with Techron and add a large bottle of Techron Concentrate every 2000-3000 miles. It's also really good for the fuel sending units.

Try Royal Purple ?

Techron is great but expensive. I'll recommend recommend Royal Purple instead. Try it and you won't regret at all.
