I don't see how anyone can believe a little bottle of chemicals, mixed in 13 gallons of gas is going to magically clean their injectors. :chuckles:

My question is how often to use STP? I have been waiting until I either get some misfire or noticable lack of power/fuel economy. Do you guys have a (reasonable) interval to do it as preventative maintenance?

QUOTE]if you use a bottle of 104+ octane on 1/4 of a tank it will kick in .
only drive on it for like 10-15 miles then fill her up.i use the outlaw octane booster.its the same thing as injector cleaner.
