So i'm thinking about getting my fuel injectors cleaned out by the shop I heard it is about 100 dollars. Do you guys think it is worth it and will it overall provide me with better gas mileage or should i just stick with the Redline cleaner?

I'm of the opinion that as long as your fuel filter is effective, your injectors probably won't clog or be a problem until one of them finally fails electrically (coil failure), meaning that reconditioning injectors doesn't make any sense at all either.

New O2 sensors might help your freeway mileage a bit and keep your tires properly inflated. Cleaning your EGR tubes and throttle bodies might help too.

If you injectors are clogged but OHM good then send them off to deatchworks: http://www.deatschwerks.com/catalog/

I would use ISO-heet every time you can get it, because it removed the water from the gas which is good for the tank and the fuel pump, Because rust kills the fuel pump which makes it louder.

BG44K is useless, unless you do the injector flush service where they use a differnt kind of chemical.

Using only premium fuel (octane 91 or higher consistently) will also help keep them clean.
