All the mojar gas brands put detergents into their gas.
But I also put a bottle of injector cleaner every now and again.

If you use high octane stuff like Sunoco 260 and the 93-94 Octane stuff, you're okay. STP gas treatment is a good secondary one though.

Last I heard they were getting Investigated for Fraud, that their product does absolutely nothing for the car. I tried it once on my old car and I noticed nothing.

I just use Valvoline and Amoco Gold Gas, they havea detergent I hear.

Different brands of gas use different additives/detergents.

I switch my brand of gas every 2 months. Texaco and Crown. The idea is Texaco will clean out what Crown does not, and vise versa.
