Techron works just as Shell's V-Power additives and Petron's XCS additives work. They all just have detergent properties that help prevent carbon buildup in your engine.

Thing is, even FuelSave or Xtra Advance also has detergent additives, just with lower concentrations. However, there are no long term studies that actually show a difference if you fill up exclusively with premium gasoline and with regular gasoline only.

Bottomline, if it feels good for you, then buy it. Your car most likely doesn't need it though.

If you didnt know you filled up with premium fuel, would you have noticed the difference?

When my brother drives my car, he doesn't notice any difference no matter what brand or octane I use. I'm pretty sure that in a blind test, people won't notice the difference of regular fuel and premium fuel.

Heck, sometimes we sell 95 as 91 whenever we're out of 91. Noone notices.

Is that the reason why clatex doesnt have a "premium" variant of fuel like VPNitro or Petrons TurboDiesel because its diesel fuel, which is priced the same as fuelsave and dieselmax, is already a "premium" one?

Not really. Isa lang kasi talaga additive ni Caltex and medyo mahina marketing nila kasi hindi nila naoovercharge mga tao with a separate premium product. 😂

Why mas mura ang Diesel (Petron) sa San Jose, N.E and even in Cauayan, Isabela? worth only P29/liter? samantalang dito sa Bataan tabi ng Petron refinery nasa P31.xx per liter...
