Default fuel line cleaner

I don't drive my c5 very much (12000 miles in 4 years). Should I add fuel line cleaner to a tank of gas every once in a while?

once a year add a fuel system cleaner like Valvoline Synpower or Chevron Techron, and use a top tier gasoline...

I usually buy a case of the Redline S1 and add a bottle every 5 tanks or so...but I drive alot more than you do so a case for me makes sense....alot of times I split it with another forum member...been using it for 5 years....works for me....the Techron is alot more readily available though
