You are incorrect. The 20oz go on sale for 2/$13.99
Chevron, Texaco, and Caltex are the companies that use Techron. If you fuel up at those places you are good to go. The fuel I buy doesn't have any additive package. I add Techron every few tanks.
If you have been using top tier fuel since the birth of your car then you are good. If it's a used car then you don't know the condition of the tank and the FI's. You could also just do a simple experiment to see if your car needs this. Fill up your tank and calculate the number of miles driven to get an accurate mpg. Add the fuel concentrate on the next two fill ups and calculate the miles driven and mpg on each tank of gas accounting for the vol of fuel additive. Drive on two more full tanks of gas and calculate the mpg. Any improvement you use must be significant and last even after you stop using the fuel additive.
The valve chemical soaks offered by some shops don't do much of anything.
Also note that top tier gas will not prevent the formation of deposit around the throttle body area. You need to manually clean with carb cleaner every 20K miles to optimize fuel trim at idle.
Toyota uses a combination of direct and port injections to keep the intake valves clean.
Try a different gas station and keep the tank 1/2 full if you don't fill up once a week.

Top tier gas and many fuel additives don't have sufficient strength to adequately remove deposits. I see moderate success with the ATS chemical.
If the injectors are partially clogged, the best option is to remove all the injectors and have them professionally cleaned. It could take several hours to clean one injector immersed in an ultrasonic cleaning solution. Success rate is better than 90% if the injector is not damaged. The shop will be able to run flow test and spray pattern to make sure all injectors are within specs. Upon successful cleaning, the shop will replace the injector's fuel filter and Viton seals.
I've spent hours at RC Injection and I can vouch for their workmanship.

Yep, pretty much snake oil, might help gummy fuel injectors, but it's not going to perform miracles on engine carbon buildup. You are better off just doing an Italian tuneup every once in a while. Cars want to rev.

If you're buying fuel in the US, it has a detergent additive by law. The quality of that detergent could be questionable which is why the auto makers defined Top Tier to be better than government minimums.
Basic gasoline is already a superb solvent. Use fresh clean gas that's less than 2 weeks old and run the engine ~2500 rpm for 30 min each month to control deposit buildup in the engine. Manually shift to a lower gear if necessary to achieve higher engine rpm.

There are engines running tests on what qualifies and what doesn't. I know because I have seen some of them. Not all detergents are equal. Some good ones perform better in some tests than others.
Basic gasoline is a solvent for nonpolar compounds. Water is a solvent for polar compounds but that doesn't mean you don't need a soap or detergent to wash your hands. The "with and without" tests for gasoline additives are very, very well documented. There is no gas clean enough to prevent deposits.

The best detergent gas is worthless if it does not hit the intake valves (direct injection). Have you removed deposit from a cylinder head? Pull the head and dip it in a gasoline bath overnight. Use a toothbrush to remove ALL the deposit. Gasoline will remove almost anything from your hands...grease, dirt, oil, paint, etc....
Fresh clean fuel and 5K oil change interval will do more to keep the engine clean than top tier gas, assuming the engine is properly designed. +220K mile vehicles with steady diet of Sam's gas and 5000-6000 oil change interval...<2% short term and long term fuel trims. That's a hallmark of a clean engine. Sam's doesn't use top tier gas,
