Fuel injector cleaners / fuel additives for 2008 S4?

What has your experience been with fuel additives / fuel injector cleaners? Specific brands? Know of any good write-ups on the subject?
Are they necessary if premium fuel is used exclusively? (very mixed opinions/views...on both additives and premium fuel)

I also have 80k on my S4 and was wondering the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm interested to hear if there were any performance and/or MPG gains.

What is that called? Fuel injector cleaner?

Any other alternatives that are available somewhere other than the stealership?

BJ, just refer to the P/N adjacent to the bar code.

It's about $8 at the Audi dealer. Probably $6 at the VW dealer. Bigger cars need two cans. Refer to label.
