When I went to install it the speed nuts basically disintegrated, so another $3.50 to advance for replacements and then the state inspection.

It shifts into neutral and back to drive easily, even at Interstate highway speeds. I think 40 MPG should be fairly easy especially with the formerly weak injector working fine now. Techron and fresh fuel and 100 miles saved me from pulling the manifold.

I'll top it off tomorrow and see what I can do with the engine running right. About $650 total spent right now including all titling and registration-tag fees.

Are you talking about buying the techron bottle inside of chevron? Do you just pour the whole thing into the gas tank?
