BG44k is the best by far.

I've got a lead foot too. Does that really help? I've read a post about Forte Gas Treament before http://www.forteuk.co.uk/Gas_treatment.htm . Thinking of trying it out myself.

None, just run a good quality fuel...anything top tier rated. No fuel system treatment necessary. Some can even foul plugs and screw with injectors.

For a real system cleaner the only one that truly works is BG44K. You should see what it does for quad carb motorcycles

I see newer car engines taken apart all the time, they definitely get dirty, and the fuel injectors should be cleaned periodically. You should only do it at recommended intervals though, no need to use it all the time.

I use Shell gasoline and Redline Fuel System cleaner every 3-4K miles. Any Brand name Gasoline should help prevent excess build up but you still need to keep the Injectors clean.

Go to www.toptiergas.com there is a listing of all grades that meet the top tier rating. Best gas you can get.

I do that every 3 oil changes, in the mean time I use Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant between BG44k applications.
