I wouldn't consider changing the oil according to the owner's manual recommendation to be excessive. In most cars and trucks that is at 3,000 miles.

Believe it or not, fuel injectors do get clogged. The least you can do is use a high quality gasoline that has detergent added.

Also, the reason for fuel additives is mainly to overcome the detrimental effects of ethanol which is added to gasoline, (10% where I live).

I won't go into greater detail right now, but you can do the research yourself.
