Well working at dealerships we used the pressureized can
stuff, and had at least good results.
Working on neighbors cars, and me own the in tank stuff
worked well.

I wouldn't take bets over if one is really better than the other.
Pressure in the rail is potentialy faster.

One common denominator, and no I'm not gonna argue 
about it, that the cars running premium fuel had fewer problems.
Weither do to owners differing level of care or gas quality I 
don't know.  There has been twice when I got the dregs form
the gas station, and both times the treatment inna can cured
things.   

One other thing that seems to mess things up for what seems 
to be injector cleaning is when they change fuel brews in cold
country, in the fall+summer, and an odd hot cold day hits.  The
first few brews can leave ya talking to your assitants in foreign
tongues.
