Default Fuel Injector Cleaner

Just wondering if anyone believes in using fuel injector cleaner? I know some people use it all the time and others don't believe in using it at all. Just wondering everyone's 2cents...
Thanks

only problem with cleaners is, that some times when you run it through your system you will dislodge dirt or grime and could possibly clog something else, its never happend to me and your rarely hear about it so id say its safe to use really

I dumped a bottle in at the end of the summer w/ a full tank (car is only a weekend cruiser). I'm at about 1/4 tank now and don't know if it helped or not, but didn't seem to hurt. I think I used prestone, but I did see seafoam at Pep Boys.

Even Wally World (WalMart) sells Seafoam. I just dumped a can in my wife's '03 Liberty. Can't tell yet if it did anything or not. Don't need it in my '93 LX. It's all new.
