    I was. Not sure if he was. I’m assuming.

    Yeah, 7-11’s have held their ground here. Slowly being taken over by speedway’s and Race tracks though.

    It’s an inherit problem with DI engines. Dual port injection, not so much. Just google 2015 WRX carbon build up and you’ll find a slew of articles. I know Audi/VW have issues too.

    My buddies 2015 WRX had to go in at 30k and the dealership cleaned the intake runners and valves and he ended up leaving the WRX there and driving off the lot with a STi.

    Lots of people telling you that you don't need to use any at this point in the life of your truck, which is true, but to answer your question...

    Chevron Techron works very well.

    Just googled all I could about carbon build up on a 2015 Dart. There’s practically nothing. One forum I came across said the 2015 and up have DI but use multi-air which greatly reduces carbon build up.

    Not saying it doesn’t, or didn’t, just saying I called bunk on the dealership to try and up sell something on me.

    As for 7-11 gas stations , the refinery that distrubutes the fuel to tank farms that then ship to 7-11 stores is Chevron blended fuel

    Back in the late 80's 7-11 got their fuel from Citgo !!

    Ever since I started adding (1) bottle of Lucas fuel injection cleaner at every fill up I've noticed a smoother idle ,better perf and better fuel mileage

    Nope noticed a better idle and even though it's a supercharged 4cyl and I can't keep my foot out of the loud pedal I've noticed a few more mpg
