I have a 1999 SE-Limited and I was gonna put some fuel injector cleaner in to keep them clean. My wife tends to run the car low on gas from time to time and although I haven't noticed any drop in performance, I am sure some sediment has to be building up in the injectors. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Your fuel filter will do a good job trapping sediment. Fuel injector cleaner is a powerful solvent and should be used only to remedy a fuel system problem. It's not a good idea to use it as a preventive measure.
