I remember reading somewhere, many years ago...? that when you use higher octane than your engine is designed to burn, that it leads to increased deposits in the engine.
So if you have a car built for 91 octane, and you use 93....? it was worse for the car than if you used just 91.
I'm not sure of the validity of the article.... but I do remember it.
Any truth to this?

What is the story about Fuel Injection cleaner additives?
I have seen these at the auto store. The directions say to add them to a full tank of gas, to clean the deposits in the injectors. Do these chemicals work? Is it a good idea to use a bottle every few thousand miles?
What's the story with them?
