Awesome Techron experience

I have 80k on my '95 maxima and it's been running great but accleration seemed a little sluggish. I never used fuel treatments and know that Nissan doesn't recommend them but I decided to try a bottle of techron since that seems to be everyone's favorite. The acceleration on the highway seems so much faster and smoother. Maybe it's a placebo effect but I got 30-31 mpg driving 70 mph when I drove straight from Rochester to Erie yesterday.

Anybody else have good or bad experiences with techron?

Thanks for the info. It's a shame we put our Maxes through the harsh lake effect winters.

I have had good results with Chevron Techron Fuel System Cleaner. Runs better with it in tank and milage improves. The stuff works!
Costco sells 4 bottles for $16, best price I've found.
