Default Fuel System Cleaner
When I fill up my 02 Coupe I usually use a 92 or a 93 octance gasoline. These octanes contain cleaners for the fuel system. Should I put in a seperate fuel system cleaner or just leave well enough alone?

I usually use a fuel system cleaner at every oil change. Something like the Chevron Techron cleaner works fairly well.

It's a good idea to add that to a tank, every 5-6000 miles. Sure, the fuels have some additives in them, but a little concentrate every 6 months is going to keep it cleaner.

Throw in a bottle of Chevron Techron every now and then. Can't hurt.
