Default poor performance

hi all,
it seems that my 2001 Neon LX kinda misses i noticed at high speeds like on the highways and has sometimes poor/rough Idling. do you think if i go to my local Mr.Lube and get the Fuel System Cleaning that will take care of the problem. they reccomend it to be done ever 25,000kms and at $79.99 a visit wow...
what do you think? thank you for you input and as always very much appreciated. look for another Post.
DAN

wow they charge you 80 dollars to pour fuel system cleaner in your car?????? That sux... clean your fuel and injectors w/ fuel system cleaner and do your throttle body as well w/ intake/tb cleaner. I mean thats all you really gotta do.

What they do you could do for under $10 by buying a bottle of injector cleaner at your local parts store. There are companies that will properly clean and balance your injectors, but expect to pay $25US per injector at a minimum, and a week or two turnaround. Frankly, I don't use the injector cleaner stuff or any other type of fuel additive (or oil additive for that matter), and I'm still running the original injectors after 236,000 miles now.

Best of luck!
