New Marathon formulation w/ STP

[LoneRanger]

Anyone know if the STP add pack is any good that Marathon recently began advertising that they are putting in their gasoline?

No problems in three vehicles that get Marathon 87 octane most fillups. It's sister brand is Speedway. Once a year, I put a maintanence fuel injector cleaner (Techron) into the empty tank - then only fill the tank half-full. I won't do it if I burn all the gas within a day. I like it to workclean longer... at least for a few days.

I don't know.
I guess they are marketing the famous STP name, and using just a smidge of extra ingredients.

I read that the additives are NOT the same as STP in a bottle, nor are they from STP themselves. Basically bought from another supplier and rebranded as STP products.

Do you have any link or other reference for that?

The add is made by Afton Chemical.

Even with all the new additive hype, Marathon is still not a "Top Tier" fuel, is it?

No, as far as I know, Marathon, at least around here is not top tier. I was thinking about either trying them or the Holiday Gas stations around here, but seem to always lose about 2-4 MPG on the Holiday gas
