    A few weeks ago Techron was $7 on Amazon and Advance Auto - I didn't make the move - the following week when I checked it was $14 on on Amazon and Advance Auto - doubled in a week - anyone have any reason for this - Thanks for any reply.

    Supply and demand, a cornerstone of capitalism. Put the Techron on your shopping cart, then move it to Save for Later and watch the price go up and down. Buy when it gets to your liking.

    Thanks for the reply - I'll give it a try. FYI - a lot of times when I put something on list at Amazon they raise it a couple of dollars within a day or so - it's happened too often to be a coincidence !

    Can I add that if I have a supercharger? I thought I read somewhere you couldn't, but I like taking care of vehicle and would add it if safe. Thanks

    Was it the same Techron product? I know they have a variety of gas additives with the Techron name that vary in price.

    Everything goes up and down. That's the way it is. Most people just shop around, or wait and buy it when it's cheaper. That's also why people 'stock up' on items when they are cheaper.
    I've been doing this for 30 years!
