Good call, but I use STP once in a while. The injectors seem to stay clean anyways.

Techron or Shell V-power.
A professional cleaning is better but expensive.

Just a little note that Canadians don't have, Techron in gas is a very good thing. This from a guy who knows gases well. Not a marketing gimmic, but chevron is good and mobil gas I believe is almost as good. Just a little backup for above posts, techron lubes seals and actively cleans.

No.....top tier gas allegedly prevents intake deposits. Has nothing to do with cleaning fuel injectors.

Are you saying that top tier gas does not keep the injectors clean? I think if it is capable of preventing intake deposits then it is more then capable enough to keep the injectors clean!

I didn't say that - preventing intake deposits requires a different additive package than keeping fuel injectors clean - ideally the gas will have both additives.

I prefer most name brand fuels. Shell, BP/Amoco, and Chevron are close by.

I've used Seafoam, Techron, and some others.

I settled on Techron.
