Default Question on fuel injector cleaners

honestly you wont feel any difference..but yea you dont have to fill it up with 92. you can pick up a bottle of fuel injector cleaner anywhere from $1.90 to $5.99 it wouldnt hurt to spare an extra couple bucks

the best thing to use is some acetone mixed in your gas or some e85 mixed in it.. Make sure to stay away from lucas injector cleaner. Is more or less nothin but veggy oil and does nothing but lubricate everything.
