I use STP gas treatment. I maybe get another mile or twoper gallon
out of that tank, so the cost is a wash. I also heard once a few
years back that if you floor your vehicle it will "blast" the
injectors clean. Is this true or myth as well?

For some reason, the 'Top Tier' labels on the Shell gas pumps have
disappeared in this area (south of Chicago). I don't know if this means
that Shell dropped the program, or just in this area, or they just don't
want to keep answering 'what's that sticker on the pump' questions.

myth. injectors are constant pressure. all max injection does is make
them open for longer, and that's not going to clear anything multiple
short injections won't do.
