Yep. All the great additives--Techron, etc.--the petrol industry has spent years developing to keep intake ports and valves clean is now all but useless (will still keep the injectors clean, presumably). 

We need to go back to carburettors--anybody know of any good ones?

interestingly.. it's now coming to light that "modern technology" is 
causing many of the old problems to resurface. Direct fuel injection, 
which bypasses washing the valves is causing an increase in the 
necessity for "de-coking" What goes around, comes around, eh?

And Now they're finally going to tell us that tetraethyl lead cruds up 
valves and makes more valve jobs necessary?
