isnt it the same stuff thats in the gas when you fill at chevron?

Is it just a lot more ocncentrated?
Or is it altogether a different beast?


(i try to fill up at chevron only)
Not really the same animal. I worked for my uncle's chevron station for a couple of years out of high school, and also did advertising for a Chevron distributor here in Owensboro. He told me that "techroline" (which is their gasoline additive at the pumps) is pretty much Chevron's "trade name" for the standard detergent additive that all stations put in their gasoline. Different brands place "trade names" on their detergents to make their gasoline more "marketable." Techron contains the "detergent" "techroline" but also carries other ingredients specifically formulated for the fuel system.
