Thoughts on fuel additives?

I was thinking about this the other day. You know how they say Restore fuel additive will help restore mileage and power because of the way it coats the chambers? Well since we only have rotor housings, this stuff likely wouldn't work in my GXL would it?

All crap. Many past topics on this. While there are a few fuel system cleaners that some say work and seem to have good luck with, 99.9% of what you buy in the store is snake oil.

And that .1% would be Techron.

There are several excellent fuel additives but NONE of them will work miracles. However, if you have dirty fuel injectors than these are your best options:
BG44K
Techron (concentrate is better than the diluted stuff at Walmart)
