    No, there is no reason to do this ever unless you have a injector fail or become blocked. Which should be next to never.

    This is a big reason why I stick to Top Tier gas - to reduce the need for this type of work.

    That being said, I understand not everyone has access to good quality gas.

    But given the choice, why not seek out and use the best quality fuel? Will there be that big a difference in price?

    It's not a Ron or octane issue it's essentially a fuel contamination issue and/or extensive use of very low quality fuel. In rural Thailand where they still hand pump fuel out of clear glass containers and the fuel itself is questionable injector cleaning is not a bad idea.....especially if you enjoy tinkering.
