Lightbulb Additives\Cleaners

What does everyone use for a fuel additive? My engine runs sluggish in the winter, and I'd like to see peoples opinions.

Also, what about throttle and injector cleaners?

Cool

stang - I don't know how many mi. you have, I have 20000 kilos.

I tend to use an injecter cleaner, maybe every one or two months.

Here in Canada, I buy it at Canadian Tire - their own brand. - It's usually the cheapest.

In my last Vehicle - 91 Ranger - I had a "profesional" job done (Injecters) at about 80,000 K. Some noticable diff. at that milage, but I had not been using a claener on a regular basis, so I thought i'd try it in the new vehicle.

I dont have any sluggishness, taht i'm aware of.

I've used both RedLine fuel system treatment and Chevron fuel system cleaner. They both worked well in my truck.
The Chevron helped reduce a pinging problem with my 4.2L.
