Yes folks, step right up! I have the miracle in a bottle to cure what ails you! sluggish, chatteery engine? Poor MPG's? doe syou car seem like it's lost it's pep? well fear not! because one bottle of this and all your worries are will fly away!

You know them, you probably use them. Sure mostly they probably don't even do shit yet they exist for a reason! I'll be the first one to admit I use one. I have used it part of my seasonal tune up (IE fresh oil, filter, ect). I have had the habit of running Techron threw my tank every year around this time and then again near the end of. If you live in the cold climates you know the toll winter takes on your car. And i swear that nasty winter blend gas does no real favors! and I swear on nothing but that fact that I have done this and will continue to do this that it works! now I ain't claiming it's gonna clean out all your carbon build up or anything like that, but i swear I see marked returns after I run this.

Um, but Technron is just a detergent, and its pretty effective. It doesn't claim to be anything BUT a detergent. Also, winter blend gas? its just oxygenates and a different RVP, nothing too sinister. No for me its Octane booster. RAISE YOUR OCTANE 8 POINTS!*

* points, as in a number after a dot. as in, it will raise your octane .8. no seriously, this is how this stuff works. So if you dose heavily you will go from 87 octane to 87.8 octane.

Second on the Chevron with Techron. I've ran it in plenty of cars, it's smoothed out idles and generally made a few vehicles run better.

Flåklypa Grand Prix is one of my favorite childhood movies and probably the #1 reason why I fell in love with Group 7 racing.

I managed to find the full movie in English on Youtube. Watch it if you have an hour and half to spare.

Interesting tidbit: this movie also inspired Christian Von Koenigsegg to start his own car company.
