When to start using Fuel Injection Cleaner?

I have a 2009 Honda Civic with 57K mileage. I drive about 150 miles a week.(Not including Saturdays/Sunday) I'm not sure when to start using Fuel Injection Cleaner, but if I do, what brand should I use? Or is it too early for me to start using it.

If you use a "Top Tier" gas all the time, probably never. Look up "Top Tier" gas stations for your area. Mine are BP, Shell, & Mobile.

Never. Pretty much useless and is a marketing thing.

  • Which fuel injector cleaner will be SAFE(without causing damage) to use on my Honda? I have a 2003 Honda Element and I'm going to buy a fuel additive. However, I deciding three types that I don't know which to choose from. It's either going to be from Lucas, royal purple or Techron.
  • Has anyone registered a motorcycle in California using the Application for Paperless Title form? I'm looking to buy a an old 1980 Honda C70 on Craigslist and the the seller does not have the title. I'm not entirely worried about the bike being stolen and will have the VIN checked before purchase. However there's no title and we will be using this form -http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg227.pdf with a Bill of Sale. Has anyone actually ever done this? I don't wan to purchase the bike, only to find that there's some requirement to obtain the title with this form…
  • Does the fuel tank size have any impact on fuel economy between vehicles? For example the new Honda Accords have a 56 Litre tank while the CRV has a 53 L and the Rogue a 55 L. Now the 2 latters are compact crossovers and are arguably bigger in size than the Accord, so would that mean they are using up more gas? Would that mean its better to buy the Accord if we were going based on just gas mileage?
  • Newer Honda Civic idle low/uneven - would fuel system cleaner All of a sudden I keep noticing that the idle on my Civic is low or uneven and it seems like it might stall out sometimes. I'm wondering what different things it could be and could it possibly help to use on of those additives that supposedly clean the fuel system.
