Chevron gasoline

[Kunz, Bob]

MTBE is being phased out which was an oxygenate usually mixed in at 15%
by volume. Techron is a mix of hydrocarbons (mostly aromatics) and is
part of the additive package in the fuel.

My '86 5ks only gets Chevron. Over the years (I am the original owner) I
have tried other brands only to find hard starting problems and poor
performance. This is particularly true in the transition from winter to
summer gas when the vapor pressure is adjusted.

I also put a container of Techron additive in for the last fill-up
before the 10K oil changes (yes, there is one also at 5K) to keep the
injectors cleaned. The car has 145K miles and no fuel issues.
