We just talked about this at our last GM Dealer meeting with GM Area Service Managers. They told us that because of new gasoline formulations there is more sulfur which is very corrosive and this new addiditive protects against that.
BUT- you still should'nt have been charged for something you didnt agree to especially if it was more than the estimate or approval amount.
Here is the bulletin:

GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS
GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS, P/N 88861011 (for U.S. ACDelco®, use 88861013) (in Canada, 88861012), is now available.
Added Benefits and Uses
The PLUS portion of GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS is the addition of a filmer additive that, when used regularly, can protect fuel system sending units from the corrosive effects of certain sulfur contaminants found in some of today's gasoline.
Sulfur contamination can disrupt electrical continuity of certain fuel sending units and lead to erratic or false fuel gauge readings. With scheduled usage, GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS protects against the effects of harmful sulfurs in gasoline.
You Get Four Benefits
One bottle of GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS added to the fuel tank at each oil change:
• Cleans -- Sulfur corrosion from fuel gauge sending units.
• Prevents -- Harmful sulfur components from attacking sensitive fuel system electronics.
• Protects -- By coating metallic surfaces of the fuel system.
• Removes -- Engine deposits left from use of poor quality fuels.
GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS will replace the original GM Fuel System Treatment, P/N 12345104 (in Canada, 89020804). The original formula may still be available for a limited time, and provides the excellent Fuel System Cleaning aspects of the new product without the filmer.
