[Shotimes] Injector cleaner fluid is a magical substance!!

[Neno Albert]

And if you think that has a substantial effect on fuel economy, imagine how incredible the stuff
you feed through your fuel rail would work! Not only does that stuff clean out the injectors, it
does a sweet clean-up on the valves as well. I believe you can buy a kit of that from a store, but
I can't say I've ever seen them on shelves before. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this Motomaster
cleaner as my caddy is barfing an incredible 12mpg/city and 14.6mpg/highway. :( Thanks for the
input!
