The silver Insight (2000, 38K, MT) dropped MPGs noticably after it was refueled at the "Everyday Gas" station. When we took it in for 30K maintenance last Saturday, Honda said that bad gas was the likely culprit. Along w/ the regular maintenance work, Honda also added 3-M Fuel System Cleaner and the car seems to run better now.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Would it be a good idea to add a dose of Techron concentrate fuel system cleaner to the next tank or better to wait?
2. I bought a bottle of Techron at Autozone but have not used it. After getting it home I noticed it says "for sport utility vehicles and light-duty trucks"...treats up to 20 gallons. Is this the wrong stuff for the Insight, too concentrated, or is it just an extra large container with enough fuel system cleaner for 20-gallon SUV tanks?
Thanks very much for clearing up my confusion.
