Just got back from the dealership to have the oil changed and transmission fluid change on my 2012 Cruze. The car has about 82,000 miles on it, ever time I go in they try to tell me I need to get the fuel service system serviced which is like $150 bucks. I always go by my owners manual if this is so important why doesn't the manual recommend this??? Every few thousand miles I add a bottle of Lucas fuel system treatment worked well so far, anybody else pay for the service?

Not required service - as long as you're using a Top Tier Gasolime as recommended in your owner's manual.

Good call. Fuel System cleanings are generally a dealership money grab as long as you're running a Top Tier Gasoline or other good gasoline from a high volume station. I clean my fuel system each year with a full tank of Shell vPower Premium (topped to the fill pipe) and Chevron's fuel system cleaner.

As quick as the intake manifolds go bad you get new injectors every 50k miles with it ,so what's left to clean anyway !

I mean, if you put it that way then yeah. You also knock out the tb cleaning too.
