Maybe I misunderstood the OP's intent of this thread, but he was asking what your "FAVORITE" addititve was, not why you think they are dumb and a waste of money. I think there is a certain level of understanding on this forum that a putting a bottle of Techron in your gas tank does not substitute for an oil change, or using 25 octane gas.
While I agree with the last few posts that changing the oil and using good gas is the most important thing, and that the shelf "Fuel System Cleaners" or "Fuel Injector Cleaners" are silver bullets to solve gas mileage, "dirty" fuel system problems, etc,...But spending $7 extra dollars to toss in a bottle of Techron (or the like) probably isn't going to do any harm, and who knows, maybe SOME of the claims on the bottle are true? And if someone can get there fuel system or injectors just a little bit cleaner, then why not try it?
Sorry for the mini rant, I meant no offense
.....Merry Christmas everyone!

As I type this from the bathroom...sure, pick on the vertically challenged balding cranky guy.
You guys crack me up.

I like boobies.

BG fuel injector cleaner 44k. throw it in the tank and it helps clear up the intake valves over time.
also C109 Kit from BG works miracles on the piston orings. gets the orings to lift and gets back compression. Did it to three vehicles in the shop. measured the compression and two had low cylinders and after the c109 they went right back up to normal. all you have to do is add the cleaner. run the engine at 1200 rpms for ten minutes and then change the oil and add the MOA can from the kit.
