Gumout seems to work pretty well. I usually put it in every 5k miles or so..

Redline SI-1 is really good if you can find it in a store. It gets expensive mail ordering it.

Either Seafoam, Techron, or AC Delco Injector cleaner, which is administered directly to the fuel rail via the schrader valve and a device. Works wonders.
