Default Gas additives?

Just wondering if anyone has ever lowered their fuel consumption by using an injector/combustion chamber cleaner (like STP or something), that claims to lower fuel consumption. Thanks.

I really think thoes products are a waste of money, drive it hard and hot, and it will clean it out.

I think that the STP injector cleaner might have helped me minutely, the only thing that I will really use is seafoam, it works pretty good.

Lucas is the best I think.

All there products are good. We never had a complaint at my work.

Ive also heard good things about seafoam, never used it or seen it for that matter but from what I hear its good stuff.

Its nothing you will really notice, I heard that Techron from chevron is actually the best and really really does work. But its like 12 dollars for the stuff. I just skip that and use chevron gas.
