Yes, something keeps the crap from the end of the gas nozzle from running into your injectors. Whether it is an inline filter, or built into the pump. Last inline filter I've done was in my dad's 2006 Chevy Colorado I5 (amazing engine) it was under the frame in the same spot as my 1995 S-10.Do you think modern vehicles have fuel filters? The majority of issues we see stem from water in fuel (I personally blame ethanol) or just poor quality fuel. Top Tier gas is definitely a real benefit, but does not necessarily mean 100% gas.
Have you ever seen the inside of an intake manifold after 100k+ miles? Pop one off a Chevy 5.3 and see how much oil buildup there is. It's awful.
edit: also, fuel injector failure is very common on the our 3.6L engine.
Oh I get that top tier gasoline is mixed with Ethanol by federal law and the amount varies by location and season. Do fuel injectors vary that much by make? I figure that there are probably 3 manufacturers (i.e. Bosch) that make injectors for almost all vehicles made these days.
