Default Fuel Additives

I've been using mid-grade gas on my stock GT. I just recently started using regular octane because gas prices are ridiculous. I probably shouldn't be worried, but if I did accumulate any build-up in my engine should I use one of those bottles of engine treatment/fuel line cleaner next time I fill up? If so which brand/type should I use? Thanks!

Also, I just sent pics of my car to Amanda to post in the member's gallery. Check em out out. They should be up soon if I submitted them correctly. On top of the usual performance upgrades, I plan on putting red racing stripes on it. That 3D Carbon body kit also tickled my fancy (minus the rear spoiler). Maybe $omeday...

chevron already has techron in it, and is listed as one of the top fuels,
My brother who has been a ASE Master technician for over 25 years recomends it highly

If your Mustang engine is still stock it might make sense to stick with what the manufacturer says. 87 octane should be fine.

I wouldn't be putting any kind of treatment in your tank unless you have a problem with some water in there or something. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
