Which fuel system cleaner is good for our Max?

Hello! I saw so many fuel system cleaners in auto store. Which one do you guys recommend or commonly used? Is it going to improve gas milage and give better performance? Thanks!

I use Techron every other oil change. It seems to help throttle response. It could be psychological but it makes me drive faster. So, I don't get any milage improvement.

if you want a better throttle response then take off the TB and clean it, replace paper gasket, take off IACV clean it and replace metal gasket while u r right there anyways.

tighten throttle cables and away you go, best 20 dollars ever spent, i am never buying another bottle of "cleaner" again, i have used many of them from many different brands like STP, Wynn's, Slick 50, penzzoil, canadian tire's mastercraft, and some others i may not remember and none of them show any significant improvement that i can describe or even notice.
