I only know of Redline and a particular Gumout at Walmart has the 30-40% polyetheramine that does the actual cleaning these days

I use Top Tier Gasoline , so I use fuel injector cleaner every time I fill up.
Here's one for ya spearhead!!
Top Tier Gasoline is worth a google by all who aren't sure they know what it is. [click the link in quote above]
Shows how the big boys can work together to help all car owners and the environment. Too bad it doesn't get more PR and it's only available regionally in the US. Here in the North East it's rare to even hear about it. SHELL is the only company and they're really short of the NE region.
When it first came around the competition called it snake oil - it is the real deal. MPG's go up w/ TT Fuel.

Fuel additives
What is the difference in cleaning injectors other than the cost? I know some people will remove them and clean them but others use chemicals. Found some reviews on this website Injector Cleaners Archives - Best Fuel Injector Cleaner ? Best Choice of 2015 but do not see any difference appart the price.
Thanks!
Thanks!

TopTeir Gas Vendors
i notice little difference between shell vpower(lulmarketing) 93 and sheetz 93. However I do recognoze that not all gas is equal and detergents can make a difference. Personally I don't trust the vast majority of fuel injector cleaners to be safe. Every now and then I head over to shell (or one of the other topteir vendors) and treat my spoiled car.

Berryman B-12 believer!!!
After 35k, added a can a Berryman's B-12 to a full tank of gas. The Fit amazingly runs smoother. Will definitely repeat at 70k.
Also used in our 24 yr. old Stihl handheld BG55 blower. Was going to overhaul the Carb but no need after the treatment. Instead of stumbling after startup, it's back to running like new.
Fair to note that numerous techs at dealerships use the Chervon Techron treatment as a "tune-up" tool. Never tried it as B-12 works for me.

-every 5k = bottle of techron fuel inj cleaner
-every 1k or so = 4 oz of MMO per 10 gals of gas pumped
why the heck not .... its cheap ... and all the guys over at bitog seem to dig both
