Millers stuff is good, proven with real tests not just bottle talk, will actually improve economy and performance.. might only be fractional though.

Do any of these additives actually make any noticeable change in engine performance?

Nothing over a good service - depends on what condition the engine is in !

Nothing. If they require cleaning take them out and get them cleaned. If they dont reuire cleaning just leave them be.

I tend to try to use every time (if funds are right 1 out of 5) super unleaded, namely shell v-power or bp ultimate. Just seems that my car runs smoother, less lumpy idle etc...
