Not an apples to apples comparison but Techron vs this stuff might have some noticeable differences too.
There's a member on BITOG that is running his own independent test to see if it's worth it (Post 231 in that thread). He's got some solid baseline photos of the cylinder head and pistons on his 2.7 Ecoboost before adding the R&P fuel treatment. It's already been running R&P oil for over a year and 15k miles so if it's gonna produce any visible results, he's got probably the best setup for it as an enthusiast right off the bat.  |
Doing mostly city driving, but maybe I am able to do a good 2 hours or so 70-80mph highway cruising while I have this tank of fuel to get the "treated" fuel to the right places in the engine. I am not sure how this one tank would be able to make any big difference to my GDI engine...or if any way I can even determine that it made a big difference. Do not have a baseline since never had to open the valve cover or the engine...and my car runs within factory specs.
Will definitely monitor that baseline you linked... Since this product came on market just this year...more and more third-party opinions/experiences will be showing up.
