Thanks Jay!

it is a very special detergent, and likely does other things; it contains a type of polyetheramine and likely other things
not sure if others have caught up to it, but Chevron has won law suits against other companies and their ad claims ("as good as, or better than Techron" etc.)
they do have 1,600 people in a single research facility dedicated to better gas and hold a slew of patents to protect that output...

Shell high octane V-power for my P-cars, Techron is a debate subject for some, I've been told if you use top tier gas which already has additives, Techron not needed.
Also thank you 911Dave for the list of ethanol-free gas suppliers, I may need to check it out.

Where I live Premium is 91. I use Techron Concentrate Plus once a year right before an oil change, but what I think is making a difference (for the better) is Sta-Bil 360 Ethanol Treatment. I use 4oz on every tank and the engine's elasticity has significantly improved. It may clean varnishes caused by the ethanol and it appears to clean injectors.

All engines required the same fuel. 78/79 regular due to the lower compression ratio. 80 and up premium and has been ever since.

wow, this thread is quite eye opening, why is such low octane fuel offered in the states?
Down the bottom of the world isolated from everywhere (New Zealand), 98 octane is available in most places, if a small town 95 octane is available.
What do the guys with GT3s & Turbos do?

In North America Octane is calculated at R+M/2
some other countries just use a RON rating.
