Chevron with Techron
Has anyone who has used this cleaner please post about your results?
I understand is the only approved cleaner for the ecoboost.
I'm wondering if actually does anything.

Dead horse. Use Google, search for this product and also research polyetheramine, the cleaner in it. It's well-known to do a great job in the right concentrations (along with not buying sh*tty fuel).

Have you used it? Do you use it even though you are buying "top tier" gasoline?
I forgot to add that I'm in Canada and can't readily buy anything from "chevron". Apparently the substitute up here is a motomaster branded fuel system cleaner.
Since the chemical is already in the top tier fuel gasolines, do I even need it at all if I'm using mostly shell regular 87?

I stick to BP and Shell gas with Sunoco and Chevron as third (either of the two interchangeably). I did research last year and remember reading BP had the highest concentration of PEA, Shell was second, and Sunoco / Shell were about even if I remember right, and I don't feel like digging up sources. I don't use any of those bottled cleaners now because I always get gas with PEA already in it, but in the off chance I've been using something like Wawa or 7-11 or some other cheap gas I'll go for Redline S1 if I can find it, or Techron if S1 isn't available, or Gumout With Regane if the first two aren't available. Get down to like a quarter or eighth of a tank, dump in the bottle, fill the tank up, done. Sometimes I'll do that two tanks in a row if I've been running dirty gas for a LONG time, though I'm sure that's probably overkill.

Smooths out idle, increases throttle response, overall smoother acceleration. Works best if you have multiple starts and stops for injector soak versus burning it up in one long trip.

Correct- this stuff works wonders on the injectors. I will throw a bottle of it in the tank every few thousand miles. I noticed a huge difference on the ecoboost engines as this definitely cleaned them out, quieted them down, and got some mpg out of it too. Great stuff.
