fuel system cleaners

I've used these fuel cleaners on my old car before and I really did notice a difference in gas mileage. Does anyone regularly use these on the Evo?

I use redline fuel injector cleaner in all my cars...

ran a bottle through the Evo a week or two ago.

Fuel injectors definately clog and definately can get dirty, and injector cleaner really does work.

About how many miles should I start using it on my Evo? It's got 1800 right now.

I've heard of that before, from a mechanic. Which gas has cleansers in it? The only gas I use is Exxon, 93 octane (same station everytime).

chevron w/techron has cleansers...the techron.

I swear by BG44k as a fuel injector cleaner. Run it every 3000 miles after oil change. Even when running a good fuel with cleaning agents and using a FI cleaner every so many miles, I would still recommend a BG rail flush once a year, and a minimum of once every two years.
