thoughts on fuel cleaner system?

i was talking a buddy of mine about mpg. i told him i get some low numbers for a v6 but i dont think i mash a lot. it probably cuz i am carrying around weight in the trunk.

but he said i might need to put in a fuel system cleaner? i am a bit skeptical to use one. what are your guys' thoughts?

i was going to research it on other reviews but i noticed not a lot of ppl talk about it on the forum so i thought id bring it up.

my friend pointed me to this:
http://www.lubrizol.com/AftermarketP...erZol9543.html

he said he uses it once a year to clean it out. i am tempted to try but i dont want an additive owning my fuel lines.

i wonder if this will do wonders to a car thats never had it before. i also read on amazon reviews...some guy said that if you havent used it before and have somewhat high mileage, you need to use it twice. can anyone verify?
