i think you should use this BG thingie....and do what it says on the can/tin...

and then, do a road trip....about 400 miles with 80 mph for few hours....with cruise control, of coarse....that i think will clean up your engine, hehehe....that's what i just did.

I have never done this, but I have a friend who is a ASE certified mechanic at a Ford dealership for over 10 years. We had a involved discussion about cleaning out the combustion chambers and I remember him saying that after the car is full warmed up, to get a spray bottle of water, and to spray into the intake as you rev the motor with the butterfly lever for about 5 minutes. This is supposed to essentially steam clean the combustion chambers. He then takes it for a 15 minute spin with hard accel and deccel over and over.

Again, I haven't tried this myself, but maybe some of you that know about this technique can elaborate...

No matter where you get gas at, You will be getting deoderants (additives) in your gas. It is a legal standard, so you will always have some anyways. It helps to always fill up at the same place, preferably with a lot of business. I always go to Chevron to fill up. I added Techron when I was getting 20 miles to the gallon, and now I get about 30-40. If you fill up at cheap ghetto stations, there is a good chance you will get water in your gas, because they cheat the standards. I did a lot of reading on the internet on the best gas to use. chevron, exxon, i think shell were good

I know this is an old post, but Im bored
