Default Fuel injector cleaning? Rip off or need?

Whats your opinions on this? Do you have it done in the shop or do you just pour in a bottle in the gas tank? If so, What type of stuff do you use?

Reason for asking cause I just had a "professional" fuel system cleaning at Jiffy Lube for about 50 bucks. They place a bottle handing off your hood while it takes about 15 minutes to clean with engine running. Drove off the lot and didn't feel much of a difference in power. Discuss.

Use some Seafoam in one of the vacuum lines get a bottle of Lucas to put in the gas. Use the rest of the Seafoam and pour it in with your oil and run it a while before you change your oil. There might be better things out there but these worked great for me and you only spend about 12 bucks
