Call me unconvinced.
Yeah, call me the same. Usually when the benefits are listed they are either vague or unmeasurable, with no supporting evidence.
I mean, I've driven cars to very high mileage and advanced age for all my driving life, and despite not using anything in the gas I still don't experience rough idle, fuel pump failures, abnormal wear, the horrors of unlubricated upper cylinders (whatever that really means), worn-out injectors or any of the supposed consequences of not using it. The OP states he gets "better combustion". Just how do you measure that?
To be fair I did once buy some Techron when I had a rough idle in my BMW, but that turned out to be a bad coil.
Just because you have used something and experienced no problems does not mean it is preventing them.
But, but, kerosene dyed red in the gas or oil is a miracle worker
