Fuel additive

Just use the EXACT fuel that the manufacturer says and you can't do any better.
Mine says 87 OCT.....that's what I use

I put a bottle of STP fuel injector cleaner in every couple of months. Just to clean things out. I also regularly use high octane gas because I can feel the difference in the way the engine runs.

That injector cleaner doesnt do a damn thing. Pull your injectors and check them out. This is the best way to clean your injectors:
