Hi,
Well, Yes and NO. It depends upon where you buy your Gas - look for the busiest, Name Brand, Station you can find as they are constantly emptying their Tanks and so there's less contamination build-up. Also, if you drive daily, this delays the need to clean the injectors.
But, realize that these OTC Products are limited in how well they can clean your Fuel System, they're much better as once a year treatments to prevent a problem rather than cure one.
The best product is a commercial kit from 3M which sells for something like $150. In it, there is an adapter to hook into the Fuel Rail to which you attach an aerosol can filled with their Cleaner, mostly their own mix of polyether amines and Techron. You screw this Can onto the adapter,
pull the Fuel Pump fuse and start the car. The Car runs exclusively on the contents of the Aerosol can for about 3 min at idle and then quits as the Can is exhausted and your injectors are clean. See it here:

I have used this system and it works quite well. Hope this helps...
