Why do you say it is crap? Many mechanics I know swear by the stuff.

I think if you really want to feel a difference....you should take your car into a shop and let them service your fuel injectors....they use a special technique that actually gets them clean....I think they pull them out and flush it?
Unlike seafoam and techron...you just pour it in and hope to feel a difference...

If your injectors are not clogged then no fuel injection cleaner will make the car feel different. I don't have a personal favorite, but 20.00 is kinda high for some injection cleaner.

Just to throw it out there:
One of my teachers used to be a mechanic back when they had carburated cars. He said what they used to do was put some ATF in the gas and that would break the carbon buildup - but again, thats back in the carburated days when there were no sensitive sensors like we have today.
