After having tested hundreds of fuels from various stations for REAL detergency content, I have found that almost ALL gasoline has little to no detergency in it. Think about it. There are 3 costs in fuel. Fuel, additives, and advertising. Funny this is, the fuel is the cheapest part pound for pound. The additives are extremely expensive (thus BG44K and Chevron Techron pricing), and are often not added at all. And we all know how much advertising is. Think about how many fuel commercials you see. There are a few good products out there. Techron is one of them. But nothing stacks up to BG 44K. I have tested the additives that are added to the fuel with dozens and dozens of products hundreds of times to verify consistency. Dollar for dollar, your best bet is 44K, best and most complete product.
