I just think that people like to believe that they can make a noticable difference in the performance of their car without spending much money. And there's always at least one self-appointed internet "expert" on any given board willing to back them up.

The next question I would like to ask is whether it is better to buy those bottled fuel system cleaners from the shops or fill up a tank of those Optimax or Utimate with their advertised cleaning addictives properties ... for every 10 tanks of normal 91 - 95 RON fuels?

I dont always use premium,maybe 1 out of 10 tanks,but premium is actually a cleaner fuel,it will help keep injectors clean.
