When I find something that works, I spread the word, and that's what I'm doing here. I usually add STP fuel injecion cleaner about every oil change or so in my cars, but I've never really seen or felt any real improvement in performance or other indication. I primarily use use it as a preventative on my BMW M-Roadster, since the Z3 series cars have temperamental fuel level sending units that get stuck if you don't use additives.
I was in AutoZone the other day, and the guy behind the counter recommended Lucas Oil fuel additive (injector cleaner and top cylinder lube). It was on sale a bit cheaper than the STP brand, so on a whim, I bought a small bottle and used it in the tanks of my Roadster and my K12GT. This is absolutely the first product of this type that I have used which I can say has evident benefits. While I've noticed no real mileage improvements, I can say without a doubt that both engines idle much smoother and are definitely quieter. I was impressed enough, that I went back and bought the large size bottle, which is about a third cheaper by volume than the smaller bottle. About 10 bucks will get you enough to treat 100 gallons of fuel, and you don't need to use the stuff every single fill up.
I'm sold on this stuff. Lucas Oil makes other products, but the fuel additive is the only one I've used so far, so that's the only one I'm endorsing at this point.

Anyone else out there use this stuff?
