Question Fuel System Cleaners
Are fuel system/fuel injector cleaners or engine flushers worth the money?

Do they make any kind of difference to a car's performance or a car's life?

Well considering its like only $5 it couldnt hurt, surely it does sumthing! An u only use it AFTER every oil change, so about once every 3 months.

What kind of change have you felt? More engine power?

Usually you'll feel smoother acceleration, a little more power.

It's suppose to cause the fuel injectors to spray better.
