Default Fuel additives

Anyone have a “best experience” with fuel additives in terms. Someone told me redline was the way to go. Any input is appreciated.( 2004 AP2 w 67k miles. Thanks

Mainly as preventative for the fuel injectors and combustion chamber residue

Any good fuel injection cleaner with the chemical polyether amine abbreviated PEA once a year works.

I doubt it will hurt. Also suspect it's a placebo. But, since Internet notes abound on how this cleans the cylinder interiors and fuel injectors maybe I'll put a bottle in there once Spring arrives. $7 is about what a Big Mac sells for these days so it really "don't cost nothing." (Guess it's up to $15 now but still not a major expense.) Few of us have access to a borescope and depend on butt-dynos.

Thinking like many I changed all the fluids to establish a maintenance base line right after buying my 37K mileage car back in 2014 including a bottle of magic elixir in the fuel.. Didn't have any noticeable effect plus or minus that I could detect. Nor 10 years and another 37K miles.

Shell V-Power Nitro+ 93 octane claims to have some magic foo foo juice in it to accomplish the same thing. Probably 30% of the fuel I burn is Shell 93 the rest is mainly BP cuz it's more convenient.
