Last but not least are dirty injectors. While the fuel filter does a good job of filtering the fuel, it'snotperfect.Overtimedepositsandtinyparticleslodgethemselvesintheinjectors.Thiscanclogandinjectorandpreventitfromdeliveringthefueltheengineneeds.Itcanalsocauseaninjectortostickopenandsendtoomuchfuelintotheengine.AregularadditionoffuelsystemcleanerlikeSTPInjectorCleaner,orTechtronfuelsystemcleanercanhelpkeepyourinjectorsclean. Most gas stations, department stores and all automotive parts stores will have a good cleaner available. Add it to your empty tank right before you fill up and it will clean as you drive. I recommend doing this every 3 months to keep your injectors performing like new. Mechanics also offer a cleaning service where they actually disconnect the fuel line and flush cleaner through the engine. This is only necessary when you let your injectors get to a point where they can not be cleaned by a store-bought product. Regular use of a good in-tank cleaner will keep you from having to pay for this service.

Where do you buy your gas?

Believe it, or not, it can make a difference. Always buy from a well know national brand service station. Gas stations, which are not affiliated with one brand of gas, tend to get whatever is left at the end of the day from the delivery truck. One day them might get Texaco, and Exxon another. Also water mixed with gas will cause problems with your engine. The engine will not run right, plus the water will promote rust in the fuel system. I have experienced this when I purchased gas at some no-name gas stations. Your car will feel sluggish and sometimes refuse to run if there is enough water in the gas.

Octane rating tip!!!!

Putting super in the tank will not get you any more performance or gas mileage unless specifically recommended by your cars manufacturer. If your owners manual says put in 87 octane...... DO IT. You are throwing money out the window if you are filling up on Super or Premium and you only need Regular.
