Default Do u use injector cleaners?

With gas being 10% Ethenol, I have heard of some problems with cars with clogged fuel injectors. Should I once in awhile pour in a bottle with a gas fill up?

Chevron Techron Concentrate twice a year, spring and fall, just prior to an oil change

Run a bottle every time you change the oil – like those above I use the Chevron Injector Cleaner. Costco has the best deal - 4 or 6 bottles for ~$12 IIRC

When I go into Advance Auto Parts and they have one on sale, I'll pick it up and try it out. Thats about it.
