Default Red-Ex?

My Xr3i (EFI) has just done 82k, I've jst bought some Red-Ex injector cleaner as it claims I'll get more miles for my money and I have noticed a little drop in the MPG over the past month or so.

Is it worth me putting this stuff in next time I fill up?

It would certainly be of little benefit compared with a proper ultra sonic clean.
As to getting addicted, I'v heard the myth, but how a lump of metal gets "addicted" I still haven't got my head around.
I have always found millers injector cleaner to be the best one I have used.

I stuck half a bottle in with £35 quids worth of petty.. I'll see if it makes any difference at all, if it does i'll use the other half.
