Subject:Re: Chevron Fuel Sys Cleaner with "Techrolene" (sp?)

I have been recommending Chevron for almost 15 years. It has a low sulfur
content and that reduces the carbon build up in both the intake system and
the injectors. After cleaning thousands of CIS fuel injectors and having
customers switch to Chevron many experience 3-4 MPG better fuel mileage. The
Techron additive on top of a cleaner running gas really is a great combo for
keeping the inside or your engine clean.

I used to have a '75 Rabbit that I built into a Euro GTI spec car. It had
dual Mikuni Solex's and an S&S header with an Ansa exaust and no Cat. I took
it to Baylands raceway several times for Wed. night bracket racing. If I ran
any gas other than Chevron it always ran a half second slower in the 1/4 mile
under the same weather conditions. That car was a screamer and didn't stop
spinning one tire until after the 2nd gear shift. I made to the quarter
finals several times in that car even with the lousy reaction times it
generated. I had much better results in winning with my '69 bug.
