If your car is running good and MPG hasn't diminished you don't need it. In the early days of FI injectors sometimes got gunked-up, but all fuels are now required to have at least the minimal amount of injector cleaner. My '08 Mustang has nearly 110,000 miles, and I've never put any crap in the thank besides fuel and, in fact, the owner's manual says do it and you might lose your warranty (long-expired now anyway).<br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div><br></div><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div><br></div>Hey gang,<br><div><br></div>I went to get my car, a '06 Scion xB /w 54,000 mi, state inspected on <br>Sat.
