Some of you may be familiar with this article, but it appears that it is best to switch gasoline brands at certain intervals to minimize deposit buildups.

The author says he works for the largest gas retailer in the world, has 28 patents, and his specialty is gasoline additives. He has invented some for his employer.

I must be missing something. How does switching additives decrease build up? If you use additive A for 5000 miles then switch to additive B, does additive A deposits decrease or does additive B now just build up on top of additive A? I don't see how this is going to decrease any deposits. I would think sticking with the additive with the least build up would result in the least deposits. If one additive was able to remove the other additive's deposits then I would understand the benefit of switching brands of gasoline. I do not think he presented any data to support his conclusion.
