Short answer is yes but more important is to look at how many gallons one bottle can treat. For our cars we need the 20 oz bottle.
Its best to use when you're filling up and pour the bottle in first before pumping the gas in. The force of the fuel being pumped in will mix the Techron in the gas tank.

I read this on another post titled "Gas Treatments". What could possibly be the crud?

Treatment is a good thing, but use a good one such as Techron, and plan on changing your oil within one to two tanks of gas after the treated tank. The oil will collect some crud knocked loose by the treatment.

Many have had great success with fuel additives; interestingly my Boxster manual states not to use any fuel additives. So, I am using Stabil as I winterize the Box but am hesitant to use fuel additives when I take the Box out of storage during the Spring/Summer/Fall
