Is the car having issues? If not, I wouldn't jack with them. 94k isn't really alot of miles.

I wouldn't put anything in it except maybe a new fuel filter if you haven't done it in a while.

Injectors aren't a wear item...but they can become dirty over time through exposure to contaminants that slip past the filter.

If you aren't experiencing any issues, there really isn't a need for action.

You could use a pour-in-tank cleaner, but it won't really do anything for contaminants that are trapped in the injector's filter or that are trapped in the internals. Many of the cleaners/conditioners contain ethanol, which most of the national gasoline supply already contains 5-10% of. Also, many of the national chain-stations have additives/cleaners already in the gas they pump.

You could have the the injectors serviced outside of the car. There are several options available, either local or national. ...and if you are curious whether the service was worth it, a proper injector service provider will have the option to perform a pre-service flow test.
