Uhmm, "never had injector problems which I attribute to this regimen"
I have used Techron only once but injectors were not the problem on that vehicle (cracked heads). 120K on a '97 Ranger, 123K on our '02 Saab, 50+k on our Tacoma, 150K on a '91 Ranger, 100K+ on a '93 Accord, 200K on a '78 Volvo and never had injector problems. The lack of a problem doesn't indicate a treatment was needed or worked.
The oil industry, pushed by the car makers, has generally gone to a new standard ("Topline?" I don't remember what they call it) and that essentially means that major brand fuels have Techron or something similar in it.
I still have several bottles of Techron on hand; Costco had a good price on a 6 pack--only a little more spendy than a single bottle at the local hardware store. So if you believe the stuff is needed, Costco may be your best source.
