Default Fuel Additive: "Greased Lightning"

Has anyone heard of, or tried a new product called "Greased Lightning?" Similar to STP Fuel Treatment, it is supposed to clean the innards of the engine.

Any comments are welcome...

Default Techroline is the best

Many years ago I got stuck in the middle of I% at night where engine RPM would not go up beyond idle (clogged fuel filter). Fortunatly I had a can of Techroline (Chevron) in my trunk. After putting it in the gas tank and running the engine for a few minutes, it cleared up some of the gunk in the fuel filter and I made it home. If it could clean the fuel filter, it could certainly clean the injectors. I put in a can in the car approx once a year.
