Personally, I like Lucas products!
I use it in my wife's 08 Escape, and in my 2013 F150. I usually put a bottle in the tank with every season change. Most gasoline's are supposed to have additives that are supposed to help keep the fuel system clean. But I've been adding Lucas about 4 times a year, and I've never, in my life have had an injector problem.

I've used Techron for several years, and I believe it's a good product.

Pretty much anything with alcohol in it is a good product. Something like, say, regular unleaded 10% alcohol/90% gasoline available at nearly any gas station works just fine. It also helps, assuming you have a flex fuel vehicle, to run some E85 once in a while.
Think I'm nuts? Find some old guys (like me!) who grew up in the Great White USA Northern Mountains (like me! NY, VT, NH...) and ask what additives were used to keep injectors and carbs clean and keep water out of the tank. Know the answer yet? Drug store isopropyl alcohol, 1 pint per 20 or so gallons of gas, once or twice per winter depending on the severity of the weather.

The Chevron Techron is what a mechanic friend recommended to me. I haven't tried it yet though. I have used Marvel's Mystery oil in my truck a couple of times, but didn't notice much of a difference either way. I used to always swear by STP products.
