That $200 fuel injector cleaner I bought at the auto parts store was a complete waste

I was having a rough idle in my 2005 F-150 and a guy at the parts counter in Atlanta swore by this high end injector cleaner. Paid $200 for it and ran the whole bottle through a full tank of gas like the instructions said. After all that, the idle didn't change one bit and I ended up just pulling the injectors myself to clean them. Has anyone else fallen for those pricey additives or am I the only one who got burned?

Spent $200 on snake oil when you could've bought a case of beer and watched a YouTube video instead.

Whoa, hold up - you paid $200 for ONE bottle of injector cleaner? That's wild, man. @jennifer_west is right, you could've fixed that rough idle with a six-pack and a Saturday afternoon in the driveway.
