Default Fuel system cleaner, what do you use?

I like the Chevron Brand personally. And it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I get a MPG OR 2 extra per gallon with it. How about you?

Chevron is the only gas that Honda recommends.

Fuel up at reputable fueling stations. Don't go to mom and pop stations that might as well have **** mixed with gas.

Wait until you are near empty. Then fill up the next 2 tank-fulls with Shell's 93 octane (the expensive stuff). Then go back to the 87 octane.

I do this when I go on long trips, once a year, and I see an improvement in my MPG when I go back to my daily driving.

I would love to see some documentaion?


I've been filling up at shell and strongly considering going to chevron from now on. I just dont' know what to believe cause everyone swears by "techron" and im no chemist so i don't really know which one is really the best.

i think most the people who swears by techron think its called "vtechron" and it might give them a little extra VTEC juice..i heard techron is good for muffler bearing issues found in Hondas
