I placed my BG 44K order through Wyatt Arp Chrysler Dodge (Mopar2u.com) and got it within 5 days (UPS ground).

They have it on sale for $14.95 until 2/21/07.

Where do you get Chevron 93 (I assume octane) in OC?

i used seafoam on my project z31... the car had sit in a field for several years, i changed teh oil and the turbo wouldn't spool at all... I actually ran it through the brake booster vaccum line like the can says to do, and the turbo is moving a bit now, granted only spooling to a couple psi. But a little spinning is way better than siezed up.

I swear by Chevron Supreme gasoline too. I get better idle and better gas mileage with it.

Many chain store products just contain IPA, Toluene/Xylene, and other solvents/oils. The better ones contain some detergents but when diluted in 20 gallons it may be weaker than what's already in gasoline.

The best expensive one contain enough detergent to double or triple the amount already in gasoline when added to tankful.

If your gasoline already contains Techron detergent, then another of the 100 or so EPA certified chemical detergents might be more usesful.

I'm about to order some but I have a question. Doesn't the dealer add some to your tank when they service your car? Just wondering.
