Fuel system cleaner - worth it or snake oil?

[Duck Vader]

Debating on buying a bottle of it and adding it to my next fill up.

Are these things worth it or are modern fuels good enough?

Supposidly the Shell/Chevron/Mobil/Texaco's have better fuel and additives, so over lots of miles they tend to look better.

For the pour in stuff it depends on the manufacturer. I remember there really only being some expensive stuff working well in a single dose. The other stuff not so much. Best case scenario is they just clean up the spray pattern on your injectors and get you some MPG back.

I don't fill up at a top tier station so debating on running a bottle once a month or something. Fred meyer with fuel points tends to save me 25 cents or more a gallon. It saves me about $20 a month. Not sure if worth it or if I should switch to a top tier place.

Debating on doing the additive since I don't go top tier. Which is in itself questionable

Costco is top tier and about 10c less than fm advertised price up here

Thought about trying them. They are usually crazy busy though

Go late at night after your workout.

I still love sea foam. No idea if it’s doing anything, and I bet not on direct injection motors. But my vr4 gets some and so does the avalanche.

From the stuff I have read some are supposedly better than others. Redline is supposed to be good as is the super concentrated Berryman and the high concentration techron in a bottle. I'm like Coop I still like seafoam.
