Default Gas Additive

I run regular gas in my stock '06 4.7. Should I add fuel system/injector cleaner? If so, how often?

Thanks for your opinions....

I use Sea Foam at oil change time, which is 5000 miles or basically yearly for me. I'll wait till I have about half a tank, maybe a little more and pour a 16 oz. bottle in.

The Chevron Gas Treatment with Techron is another product that consistently gets good marks from most performance shops...

I usually run sea foam every three oil changes. Half in gas tank and about a quarter through brake booster.

I have had good results with the Techron too.
We had a high sulfur gas issue here a couple of years ago at our Speedway stores (Marathon owned). It killed pumps and soiled the sending units. Techron was the best product that I used on other peoples cars and trucks ( I never use there gas) to clean the crap out of the fuel systems. Worked good. Saved all but one sending unit.
I'm sold on the stuff.
