I use this every 3 months or when I'm out in the boonies and have to run low grade gas....

Use a major company gasoline. All gasoline sold over the pump is required by law to have additives in it. Name brands have better additives and with that better cleaners, injector cleaning included.
That's one reason the name brands get better mileage. Better additives mean you don't have to use as much & you're getting more gasoline per gallon than the cut-rates, who use higher additive amounts per gallon.

I just bought a bottle Techron consitrate & my SG runs even better after running it 1oz to every gal.

I started using Seafoam when I had a carburetored bike and it would sit for weeks during the winter. I continued when I went to fuel injection and now make sure all my power tools get treated for winter storage.

But I do know it hasn't hurt. I figure its a little like religion: I have faith that it works, the sacred book- written by the creator- says it works, and the other followers say it works. So religiously, I used it every fifth tank. And I use Sta-Bil in the winter.
