Got mine off of eBay. I bought 4 for $59.95 with free shipping. That's $14.98 a can. A little cheaper if you buy the 6 or 12 pack. I purchased them Monday and had them yesterday. I haven't used any yet.
That's the cheapest I've seen. You don't have to bid on them, just make the purchase using "buy it now".

I've also heard great reviews on the Motorvac. I think the shop I took it to didn't hook it up right but I could be wrong. My motor runs quieter and smoother since the Motorvac but I still have a little bit of shake. I'm rather picky when it comes to how my vehicle runs so it's probably just me. Now though I just want to get rid of this little bit of pinging that way I can bump my timing back up.

Found Some
I found some at my local Chevy dealer for $18.95 a can. So I'm off to get some and then maybe I can hurry up and use the rest of this tank.
Let us know how she runs after it goes through man!

Gee I was going to vote for Chevron w/Techron as it has worked OK for me. But sounds like I need to try BG. How often have those of you that have put BG in yours had to put it in again. Techron doesnt seem to keep it clean. Blue

cubuff1runner - I saw your rig last year when I was driving around in Boulder. 
I read somewhere that you should use two cans if your rig has over 30k miles or more than three years old, then you should use two cans. One on the first fillup and the second on the next. The first will soften the deposits while the second will remove them. I don't remember where I read that from though....

Sounds like it should work.

I have gone through about 1/4 of tank with the BG44K. I think it may have improved the idle just a bit. It's really hard to tell, plus I'm the pestimistic type.
I also put some in my 84 Camry and it seems to be running better. However, I cleaned the throttle body the same day, so once again I'm not sure if it is the BG or the cleaning.
I'll have to report back when I have both tanks empty.

BG is going through...
I've also gone through about a 1/4 tank with the BG as of right now. It seems like my idle has smoothed out a little but it also hasn't ran much through it yet. I also used premium in this tank so I definitely have no pinging now. I should be all the way through my tank my next week sometime. Then we will see what the final verdict is.

I've got my verdict...
I've been through almost a half of my next tank so I decided that it's time to write what I think about the BG 44K.
So far my engine seems to run smoother. However I did hear a little bit of pinging today but it isn't as bad. I've decided that I'm going to bump my timing back up and just start running premium again. Overall, I'd say it was worth the $20.

I don't have any BG's right now but my friend left a bottle of the Redline stuff in my garage so I think I'll give a bottle of that stuff a try with my next fill up and I'll see if there's any noticeable difference.
