I personally run a can of seafoam through the gas tank at every oil change. Does it do anything, I doubt it but its peace of mind.

I put it in my 2008 Accord rarely. Maybe once every 10k miles? It wont hurt anyways. On the other hand I use regular gas :S

Thx, Killa. Is the carbon issue still true for more recent model years ?
I have an '11.

Just trying to explain that not even running regular gas is really that worth it
