The way I understand it is Chevron uses detergents in the gas that help clean out the fuel system. Any variability in mileage would be due to better delivery which you could still get if you just used it like every 5th tank or something, and of course other variables.

a clogged filter and injectors usually get you better mpg... however its not as healthy...
