Re: Injector cleaner fuel additive?
There is zero/nada/no need to use a fuel injector cleaner additive,
especially that often. All of today's U.S. gasolines contain fuel
injector cleaning additives already, and they do contain "enough" of
them as well. Stop wasting your money. :)

Or you could just use a "Top Tier" gasoline brand at all times,
presuming you take this far more seriously than it typically deserves.

If it made you feel better, great. In general, is overkill.

Chevron gasoline with Techron is one of the "Top Tier" gasolines that is

Gasoline.
One problem with too many additives is that you will get metallic
deposits on your injectors. This isn't "if some is good, more must be
better" technology and the detergent isn't Joy, Palmolive, etc.
A real injector cleaner is a nasty solvent that requires direct feed,
and unless your injectors are dirty, a great wallet emptying device and
not much else. A real money maker for shops looking for Barnum's.
