Default Lucas gas treatment

Has anyone used Lucas upper cylinder lubricant/injector cleaner?
And if so, does it actually help?
Some of my friends swear by it, but I would like more input and opinions from fellow Dodge drivers......

Just about all the fuel injector cleaners work...somewhat.

Here's the best post I know of on the subject,
in particular 'Mr P_bodys' post:

sample quote:


I did the testing for Chrysler fuel lab and ALL the
different items tested there was only one that worked
well and now we have it under the MOPAR brand at your
local dealership. All of them used alcohol for the
base product and it doesn't do any good on the problems
that occured with the 1000's of injectors that I
tested. I would go and get warranty injectors and
do a base flow on them and then run them through
the cleaning process then do a final flow on them.
I would see a warranty injector at about 80% - 85%
of its max/total flow and clean them and after
I would see about 94%- 97% of the original flow
(factory spec.)

I would always have a resonance through a certain RPM band on my S10 and it did reduce the RPM duration of the vibration. As far as cleaning the fuel system goes, I use Sea Foam.
