My review of Chevron Techron

I'll let the numbers speak for themselves.

Old mpg: 18.6
New mpg: 20.2

Granted, I believe this was the first time any injection cleaner has been used in 60k miles, but hey, I'll take those numbers any day. I haven't noticed a performance increase, but I didn't expect to. After my 60 k tuneup, I think I'll finally be happy with my mpg.

I'm surprised to see you folks are getting this sort of fuel economy. I consistently get ~23-24 mixed driving and 28 or more on the highway...but I drive the car conservatively.
