Im getting shoddy acceleration due to running the car on the gas light a bit too much lately :angel:

What would be a good brand of cleaner? I mean the dollar store sells some (ID NEVER put that in my car) haha

I ran the tank very very close to empty in my previous car, and it resulted in a clogged fuel filter. New filter, all was good again.

My wife's QX4 manual says to change the fuel filter when the acceleration is not up to snuff.
