I've always heard that Chevron Techron is the really good. It can't hurt -- I add a bottle with a fill up maybe 3 times a year. I can't tell a difference after, but have never had injector problems. If your injectors are a little clogged it might take more than once to help clear things out.

Does the fuel injection cleaner they sell at pepboys work? My mpg is gone so bad that I may have to switch cars with my dad (Prius) for my e60 since I commute about 40 miles a day.
If anyone knows which one works, can you point me to the right direction?

I tried both Chervon and BG 44k in my Volvo. No difference at all. I put 1 bottle/can every year. Volvo dealer uses Chervon every 30k miles.

So are you saying that there's no difference between the two products or that there's no difference in the performance of your car after using either of them?
Yes. I did not see any difference. Maybe, I was using Super gas for my cars since day 1, just maybe.

I've never needed these products on my newer cars (no older than 3 years) but I know the BG 44K product did wonders on an older M3 that had was running a little rough, etc. after sitting in storage for a while...

Again, assuming you mean you didn't see any difference with the performance of your car after using these additives, I'm wondering if you had any issues with your car in the first place.

I have no issues with my car in the first place. Just put them in every year in my Volvo and now it is 12 years old, 180k miles, so far so good. I have not put them into my 530i yet. Maybe when it is 6 or 7 years old ....
