fuel treatment/injector cleaner
one of,if not the best on the market, available at Wal-Mart or any local auto parts store.
I personally use Redline Injector Cleaner, harder to find than Techron but I like it better, that just me.
BG 44 also really good, very hard to find.

Techron is Chevron's proprietary additive. Personally, I just use Chevron primarily, but I would imagine that they are not in every market. A very respected private mechanic told me that Techron is the best on the market, but I'm sure that there are many good additives out there. A bottle in the tank just prior to a fill-up about once a month should be good.

Sorry... I get your meaning. Change the oil to remove any loose carbon, etc.

Yep! Do a search for "Techron" and you will find a lot of threads discussing when to add and what to do afterwards. Here's one: https://rennlist.com/forums/911-foru...injection.html
BTW, always do a search before posting a question...you'll be surprised how many times the same question has been asked before. Here is one regarding octane requirements:https://rennlist.com/forums/911-foru...uirements.html

"thankfully Washington has the highest gas TAX in the nation (or close to it) and we offer 91 as the highest grade...."
i've been using 92 at Shell here in Seattle, but I've never seen 93...

I run the high test in my 3.2 911 and I only run good brand gas too. I aim for Shell and then Mobil/Exxon if I can't find a shell. The problem you will have is you can only find 91 in Maine, but my car runs fine on that too. However, I only try to fill it up in NH.
